light beam shines through air and then strikes a mirror, making an angle theta = 39.0 degrees with respect to the vertical, as shown. The reflected beam then strikes a pane of glass of thickness h = 1.68 cm, located a distance y= 48.5 cm from the mirror, and then exits the glass pane at the bottom, a horizontal distance x cm away from where it struck the mirror. What is the value of x?

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.
