Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:
  • two light waves are capable of interfering with each other. In a double-slit system, a single light wave is split into two waves and the interference pattern is created.

 

  • When interference occurs, the final intensity might increase or decrease based on the path difference between the interfering waves.

 

  • When final intensity is increased it is called constructive interference. The condition for constructive interference is given by,

dsinθ=mλ

Here d is the slit width, θ is the angular position, m is the order of the fringe, and λ is the wavelength.
