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.

Show that the distribution of intensity in a double-slit pattern is given by Equation 36.9. Begin by assuming that the total magnitude of the electric field at point P on the screen in Figure 36.4 is the superposition of two waves, with electric field magnitudes E1=E0sintE2=E0sin(t+) The phase angle in in E2 is due to the extra path length traveled by the lower beam in Figure 36.4. Recall from Equation 33.27 that the intensity of light is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the electric field. In addition, the apparent intensity of the pattern is the time-averaged intensity of the electromagnetic wave. You will need to evaluate the integral of the square of the sine function over one period. Refer to Figure 32.5 for an easy way to perform this evaluation. You will also need the trigonometric identity sinA+sinB=2sin(A+B2)cos(AB2)
