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.

What type of experimental evidence indicates that light is a wave?
From his measurements, Roemer estimated that it took 22 mm for light to travel a distance equal to the diameter of Earth’s orbit around the Sun.
