A physics professor wants to perform a lecture demonstration of Young’s double-slit experiment for her classusing the 633-nm light from a He–Ne laser. Because thelecture hall is very large, the interference pattern will beprojected on a wall that is 5.0 m from the slits. For easyviewing by all students in the class, the professor wants thedistance between the m=0 and m=1 maxima to be35 cm. What slit separation is required in order to producethe desired interference pattern?

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.
