Fresnel distance: It is the minimumdistance that a beam of light has to travel before its deviation from straight line path. Derivation: From the theory of diffraction of light for a single slit, the angle of diffraction for central maxima is.

anshpratap4010661: this is anAn Aperture of size illuminated by a parallel beam sends diffracted beam (the central maxima) in angular width approximately . Travelling a distance , it aquires the width z λ / a due to diffraction. The distance at which this width equals the size of the aperture is called the fresnel distance. z F = a 2 / λ .

Derivation:

From the theory of diffraction of light for a single slit, the angle of diffraction for central maxima is 

sinθ ≈ θ = λ/a 

After travelling distance x, the half angular width of beam would become (xλ/a).

This beam width will be more than width of slit(a).

So, (xλ/a) ≥ a

=> x ≥  (a2/λ)

Here, (a2/λ) is called Fresnel distance.
