Question

Please state if the the statement is True or False; if False, please explain why. Please answer A, B, and C. 

a) Interference occurs when two or more light rays are added together at a single point in space. b) For constructive interference, the change in the path length of the two light beams being added together must be AL = 0, A, 2X, 3A, .. ww. c) For destructive interference, the change in the path length of the two light beams being added together must be AL = 0, X, 2X, 3A, ... d) One way of creating a other difference between two beams of light is to have one beam pass through two slits that are side by side a short distance apart. This is referred to as Young's Interference Experiment, or as the Double Slit Experiment. e) The resulting intensity patter from the double slit experiment comes out to be: I(0) = 41, cos ( sin(0)). f) For a Michelson Interferometer, due to the fact that light has to travel the distance between the beam splitter and the mirrors twice (going down and back) a shift of one of the mirrors by will result in a half fringe change in the interference pattern detected (e.g. going to bright to dark or vice versa).
