Does the pattern expand away from the bright center (the maxima and minima shift away from the center) or contract toward it if we switch to yellow light or ? Decrease the slit width ?Explain .

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.
