Explain how interference pattern is formed

Explain how interference pattern is formed

When two waves from coherent source sources cross they superpose.

Where the path difference is odd multiple of a half a wavelength, cancellation occurs resulting in minimum intensity.

Where the path difference is equal to integral multiple of a full wavelength, reinforcement occurs resulting in maximum intensity.

This leads to formation of alternate permanent regions of maximum and minimum intensity called interference.
