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.

There are several spectral features that can be used to characterise galax- ies, including the Hydrogen-a emission at 656.3 nm and the Hydrogen- emission at 486.8 nm.
