This rapid decrease in amplitude is primarily because much of the initial amplitude is completely lost during the reflection process, since 83% of any remaining amplitude is lost each time the wave reflects off of the back of the diamond. This decrease is ''very'' significant. For example, when the wave <math> \Psi _2 </math> exits the diamond, the light reflected back into the diamond has an amplitude less than three percent of the original wave, and 83% of ''this'' is lost when the wave reflects off of the back of the diamond, leaving less than half a percent of the initial amplitude to make up all errors.

The propogating wave will not reflect back from the diamond coherently; it will instead form spherical wavelets. We must either account for these or find them insignificant.
We can treat the diamond as a single-slit experiment. In this analysis, the slit will be represented by some finite slice of the diamond, which will then be the resolution size. We will call this resolution size R. The distance the light travels, from the diamond to the detector, is L. From this projection, we know that there will be a first intensity of zero at a distance <math>\frac{b \ 2}</math>.
