Constructive interference Destructive interference
1. When the waves meets with same phase, it forms constructive interfernece   1. When the waves meets with opposite phase, it forms destructive interfernece  

2. Phase difference at the point of observation.

\delta = 0^o \ or \ 2n \pi

2. Here, phase difference = 180^o\ or \ (2n-1) \pi \ where \ n=1,2,3...
3. Path difference = n \lambda 3. Path difference = (2n-1) \frac{\lambda}{2}
4. Resultant amplitude = A_{max} = a_1+a_2

4. Resultant amplitude = 

A_{min} = a_1-a_2

5. Resultant intensity will be maximum = I_{max}=I_1+I_2+2{\sqrt{I_1I_2}} 5. Resultant intensity will be minimum = I_{max}=I_1+I_2-2{\sqrt{I_1I_2}}
