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>.
