Much of the modern-day application of slit interference uses not just two slits but many, approaching infinity for practical purposes. We start the analysis of multiple-slit interference by taking the results from our analysis of the double slit (N = 2) and extending it to configurations with numbers of slits.

The amplitude of the electromagnetic wave is correspondingly diminished to 1/N of the wave at the principal maxima, and the light intensity, being proportional to the square of the wave amplitude, is diminished to \(1/N^2\) of the intensity compared to the principal maxima.
