      <p>Dear Mahmoud,</p>
      <p>I looked at your results. The simulations are correct, but your
        calculations are not. The point is that the slit at 4.17 meter
        acts as a virtual source. Hence, you need to use the 1/r^2 law
        from that point on. This roughly agrees with the 3 simulation
        results being 1: 1/4: 1/9.<br>
      </p>
      <p>best, Kim<br>
