The phase difference between two points separated by a distance of \\\Delta x is given by

\\\Delta \phi =\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\Delta x

Phase difference for two points separated by a distance of \frac{\lambda }{2} would be

\\\Delta \phi =\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\times \frac{\lambda }{2}\\ \Delta \phi =\pi\ rad
