    For the constructive interference the path difference between the two interfering waves must be equal to

    A)  \[\left( 2n+1 \right)\lambda \]                 

    B)  \[2n\pi \]

    C)  \[n\lambda \]                                  

    D)  \[\left( 2n+1 \right)\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Phase difference,                 \[\Delta \phi =\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\Delta x\] In a constructive interference,                 \[\Delta \phi =2n\pi \] where \[n=0,1,\text{ }2,\text{ }3,...\] \[\therefore \]  \[2n\pi =\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\Delta x\] or            \[\Delta x=n\lambda \]
