interference
is evidence for the
wave model
of light
coherant
waves have a constant
phase
relationship
destructive interference
is when two waves meet that are
completely
out of phase (
crest
meets
trough
)
constructive inerference is where two waves are in consistant phase (
crest
meets crest) (
trough
meets trough)
maxima
is produced after
constructive interference
(
whole number
of wavelengths)
minima
is produced after
destructive interference
(
odd number
of
half wavelengths
)
