Concept explainers

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.

Question

Aside from reflection, which wave behavior is responsible for the brilliant colors of thin
films of oil and soapy water?
O a. polarization
O b. interference
O c. refraction
O d. diffraction
