Explanation The interference depends on the difference in the optical path length between the incoming and the reflected light. The optical path length can be defined by L = ∑ i n d i Where “n” is the refractive index of the path “d i ” is the length of the segment path The difference in optical path length between two rays determines the interference is destructive or constructive The phase difference between two rays is Δ φ =
