Target entity: Airy disk theory in optics
Context triple: [George Biddell Airy, notableWork, Airy disk theory in optics]
  • A. Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction theory
    Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction theory is a more rigorous scalar diffraction formulation that corrects limitations in Kirchhoff’s approach by using boundary conditions consistent with the wave equation.
  • B. Kirchhoff diffraction theory
    Kirchhoff diffraction theory is a classical wave optics framework that models light propagation and diffraction by treating wavefronts as superpositions of secondary spherical waves emitted from an aperture.
  • C. Fresnel diffraction theory
    Fresnel diffraction theory is a wave-optics framework that describes how light diffracts when source or observation distances are finite, using near-field approximations derived from the Huygens–Fresnel principle.
  • D. Airy disk chosen
    An Airy disk is the central bright spot in the diffraction pattern formed when light passes through a circular aperture, fundamentally limiting the resolving power of optical systems.
  • E. Schwarzschild criterion in optics
    The Schwarzschild criterion in optics is a condition that determines when an optical system is free from spherical aberration by relating the geometry of the system’s mirrors or lenses to the paths of incoming light rays.
  • F. None of above.
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Provenance (3 batches)

The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
