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

Which one of the following traits or behaviors is an indicator that light is a wave?
O Light occupies space.
O Light travels at enormous speeds.
Light particles possess mass.
Light is observed to undergo interference.
