2.0 Interference of Waves
When two or more waves meet at a point in a medium, the resultant disturbance is equal to the sum of the disturbance produced by individual waves. Depending on the phase difference, the waves can interfere constructively or destructively leading to a corresponding increase or decrease in the resultant intensity.2.2 Interference of waves from coherent sources
