constructive interference- happens when waves are in phase...and so the path difference is a multiple of ?...
equation for path diff of constructive: n?, where n=1, 2,3....

destructive interference: happens when waves are out of phase, and so the path difference is a multiple of half ?
equation for path diff of destructive= (0.5+n)?

therefore the only possible answer is C...

got it?

sweetie:
hey ppl,
when a graph line is sloping downwards, it has a neg. gradient so if we had to cal. the value of the gradient will it be written as  " -x" or " x"???????
