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.

A physicist directs a laser beam through a transparent medium, toward one surface of an equilateral prism. (The beam travels, and remains in, the plane of the page.) Incident on Surface 1 at an angle ?1, the beam then encounters Surface 2 from within the prism.
