of the first ring in the Airy pattern for far-field diffraction at a circular aperture
is such that I

Plane waves impinge perpendicularly on a screen with a small circular hole in it. It is found that when viewed
from some axial point P the hole uncovers 1/2 of the first half-period zone. What is the irradiance at P in terms
of the irradiance there when the screen is removed?
