What are coherent sources ? Define interfernece of light. Obtain the condition for constructive and destructive interference of light .

Interference is an important property of light. In the given table, Column I shows the properties of interfering waves, Column II shows the phase difference, and Column III shows the path difference between two interfering waves What are the conditions for destructive interference?

When a light wave passes from a rarer medium to a denser medium, there will be a phase change of pi radians. This difference brings change in the conditions for constructive and destructive interference. This phenomena also reasons the fromation of interference pattern in thin films like, oily layer, soap film, etc., but has no reason on the shifting of fringes from the central portion outward. The shift is dependent on the refractive index of the material as per the relation, Delta y = (mu - 1) t Thin film interference happens with

State the conditions for constructive and destructive inter-ference of light.

State the importance of coherent sources in the phenomenon of interference. In Young's double slit expet-ment to produce interference pattern obtain the conditions for constructive and destructive interference. Hence deduce the expression for the fringe width. How does the firinge width get affected, if the entire experimental apparatus of Young's is immersed in water ?
