Question
Indicate true or false in each of the following statements:
1) Two identical waves constructively interfere if their phase difference is 2 radians
2) Two identical waves destructively interfere if their path difference is zero.
3) Two identical waves destructively interfere if their phase difference is 3 radians
4) Constructive interference occurs when the phase difference of two otherwise identical waves is , 3, 5 etc.
5) If two identical waves have the peak of one wave coinciding with the valley of the other, this leads to constructive interference.
Explanation / Answer
1) True ; Here the path differrence is equal to one wavelength so the position of minima and maxima occur at the same place so they constructively interfere.
2) False
3) false
4) False
5) False
