What is the path difference for destructive interference (if n is an integer)?
- A \( n\lambda \)
- B \( (n+1)\lambda/2 \)
- C \( (2n+1)\lambda/2 \)
- D \( (n+1)\lambda \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \( (2n+1)\lambda/2 \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Destructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave meets the trough of another, canceling each other out. This happens when the path difference is an odd multiple of half-wavelengths, which is mathematically expressed as \((2 n+1) \frac{\lambda}{2}\). C)…
