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

For destructive interference, the path difference is an
odd number of half-wavelengths
even number of half-wavelengths
whole number of wavelengths
even whole number of wavelengths
The spacing of maxima from a two-slit interference experiment depends on
the wavelength of light
the distance to the screen
the brightness of the light
the spacing of the slits
