Name at least two scenarios in which two light waves can travel different distances, and thus constructively or destructively interfere with one another
Homework Answers
1) Young's double slit interference
when light passes through a two parallelly aligned slits which gives two light waves can pass through it.
these two light waves gets interfere constructively and destructively at a distance from the slits.
2) Single slit diffraction
If we choose two points that are further in, but still the same distance or at different from the middle of the slit, they will also have equal path lengths to the center point on the wall or different path length respectively. They will also interfere constructively or distructively with one another

Problem 2 Consider the following two mechanical waves traveling in opposite directions in the same medium: yr(x, t) 10 cos(10t - 10x) cm y2(x, t) 10 sin(10t + 10x) cm where x is in centimeters. It can be said that the waves interfere with each other constructively where their superposition, [ysl = y, + y2l, is at a maximum and that the waves interfere with each other destructively where ly,l is at a minimum. Answer the following: a) For time...

In our study of thin film interference we have seen that when light strikes a surface with a different index of refraction the incident light splits into 2 reflected beams and 2 refracted beams. The total phase difference between any two interference. This will to the two general cases described below. For each case give several applications of this situation adjacent beams can lead to either constructive or destructive 17 Case I: Beams 1 & 2 interfere constructively (maximum reflection.,)...

Two sources produce coherent light waves that come together at a detector located 3.20000 mm from one source and 3.20110 mm from the other. If the two waves interfere destructively, what is the longest possible value for the wavelength? Assume the light is visible light (400-700 nm) and keep three significant figures in your calculation.(Also enter your answer to three significant figures.)

Two beams of coherent light travel different paths, arriving at point P. If the maximum destructive interference is to occur at point P, what should be the path difference between the two waves? Two beams of coherent light travel different paths, arriving at point P. If the maximum destructive interference is to occur at point P, what should be the path difference between the two waves? The path difference between the two waves should be one and one-quarter of...
