From the information provided, let us com-
pute the air gap (flatness error) values at A an
B in Figure 5 below. There are 9 bands at A.
No Response Required
Each band represents a distance of /2 or 11.6
micro inches for orange light. Using the formu-
la of foldout-10, you calculate the air gap to
be ________ micro inches (at the widest point).

From a close inspection of the bands at D
and E you will understand why the number of in-
