B A wave is partially blocked by an obstacle.
C Two coherent waves are superposed.
D Two waves of equal speed and frequency are travelling through the same part of a medium in opposite directions.
Monochromatic light is incident on a pair of narrow slits a distance of 0.1 mm apart. A series of bright and dark fringes are observed on a screen a distance of 2.0 m away. The distance between adjacent bright fringes is 8.0 mm.

C 3λ/c
D 4λ/c
In an experiment to demonstrate two-source interference of light, a beam of light is split into two beams using two slits 0.50 mm apart. These two beams are incident on a laboratory wall at a distance of 4.0 m. The wavelength of light is 550 nm.
How far apart are two adjacent interference fringes that are formed on the laboratory wall?

B 0.44 mm
C 2.2 mm
D 4.4 mm
In a double-slit experiment the distance between the fringes, on a screen, was too small to measure.

B increasing the distance between the slits and the screen .
C increasing the distance between the slits
D increasing the frequency of the light source
