DescriptionAiry Pattern Intensity and Encircled Power.svg	English: A graph showing the intensity and encircled power of an Airy pattern. ${\displaystyle I(\theta )=I_{0}\left({\frac {2J_{1}(ka\sin \theta )}{ka\sin \theta }}\right)^{2}=I_{0}\left({\frac {2J_{1}(x)}{x}}\right)^{2}}$ ${\displaystyle P(\theta )=P_{0}[1-J_{0}^{2}(ka\sin \theta )-J_{1}^{2}(ka\sin \theta )]}$
