Two sources emit waves that are coherent and in phase and have a wavelength of \(26.0 \mathrm{~m}\). Do the waves interfere constructively or destructively at a point \(78.0 \mathrm{~m}\) from one source and \(143 \mathrm{~m}\) from the other source?

Two sources emit waves that are in phase with each other. What is the largest wavelength that will give constructive interference at a point \(161 \mathrm{~m}\) from one source and \(295 \mathrm{~m}\) from the other source?

How would you expect the interference pattern of a two-slit experiment to change if white light were used instead of monochromatic light?

Laser light with a wavelength of \(\lambda=670 \mathrm{~nm}\) is incident on a pair of slits along the normal. What slit separation will produce a first- order \((m=1)\) bright fringe at an angle of \(35^{\circ} ?\)

Monochromatic light passes through two slits separated by a distance of \(0.0334 \mathrm{~mm}\). If the angle for the third bright fringe above the central bright fringe is \(3.21^{\circ}\), what is the wavelength of the light?

In a two-slit experiment the first bright fringe above the central bright fringe occurs at an angle of \(0.21^{\circ}\). If the wavelength of the light in the experiment is \(520 \mathrm{~nm}\), what is the slit separation?

Why don't you notice interference when the beams from two flashlights overlap?

Two coherent light sources are half a wavelength out of phase at a certain point. Do they interfere? If so, how?
