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.

On a clear evening during the winter months, if you look up at the sky, you can see the constellation Orion (The Hunter). One star is this constellation Rigel, flickers in a blue color (λ = 400 nm), and another star, Betelgeuse, has a reddish color (λ = 750 nm). What is the difference of the surface temperature for these two stars?
A pressure sensor inside of a mixing tank is designed to turn red when the pressure inside the tank exceeds 1.9 kPa. If the sensor is a square, 10 cm on each side, how great a force must be exerted on the sensor in order for it to turn red?

( Why? From fireworks to stars, the color of light is useful in finding out what's in matter. The emission of g by hydrogen and other atoms has played a key role in understanding the electronic structure of atoms. Trace materials, such as evidence from a crime scene, lead in paint or mercury in drinking water, can be identified by heating or burning the materials and examining the color(s) of light given off in the form of bright-line spectra.
