LAB 3: WAVE INTERFERENCE Part A Theory Please study the Interference concept to answer the following questions. 1. Discuss interference, constructive and destructive interference. List the phase and path difference equations for constructive and destructive conditions. 2. Discuss the Double Slits (Young’s) interference. Give path difference equation for the angle condition of interference in Young’s interference. Define the meaning of each term in your equation. 3.
