We present a theoretical study on the amplitudes and the linewidths of the subsidiary and principal maxima in multiple-slit interference patterns in the Fraunhofer regime. In the limit of a large slit number, we observe that the calculated amplitudes of the subsidiary maxima relative to the principal maximum are slightly different from the values presented in textbooks. We also present the calculation of the widths for the diffracted intensity patterns of the principal and the first several subsidiary maxima.
