In a slit experiment, the 'path difference' is equal to the distance between the center of each slit, of the angle between the point on the screen and the straight line between the slits and the screen. divided by the sine multiplied by the sine O divided by the cosine O multiplied by the cosine divided by the tangent O multiplied by the tangent
