Diffraction Lab-report: mention of K value

Hi everyone,

For the Lab-report I got a question about mentioning the correct K₁ = 1.22 (the Reyleigh criterion) in the report, so I though I'd clarify here.

Mentioning the correct value (even though you are to "discover it") is okay - you can for example mention that a theoretical calculation (which you don't have to do) would predict the correct value, and then contrast it to your value. This is also relevant for the second part where you use the value with regards to the JWST - here you can use the theoretical value and contrast to your experimental value, and see the effect of the experimental uncertain value has on your results.

If you have already completed your report and don't have time to add in comments about the correct value, you will not be penalized.

Cheers, Ainar
