The experiment described in question 2 above is performed, but this time, a strip of transparent plastic is placed over the left slit. Its presence changes the interference between light waves from the two slits, causing the interference pattern to be shifted across the screen from the original pattern. Explain, clearly but briefly, which way (right or left) the original pattern shifts and why this shift occurs.

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.
