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

In the two-slit interference experiment in Fig. 5, the slit widths are each 12.0 mm, their
separation is 24.0 mm, the wavelength is 600 nm, and the viewing screen is at a distance

maximum or minimum on which it lies or the maximum and minimum between
which it lies.
(b) In the same way, for the diffraction that occurs, determine where point P is in the
diffraction pattern.
