Concept explainers

Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.

Question

Which of the following conditions must the
light satisfy to obtain an observable double-slit
interference pattern?
O A. The light must be incident normally on
the slit.
B.
The light must be monochromatic.
C. The light must be polarized.
O D. The light must be coherent.
