Path Difference in Young's Double-Slit Experiment

Go Path Difference = sqrt((Distance from Center to Light Source+Distance between Two Coherent Sources/2)^2+Distance between Slits and Screen^2)-sqrt((Distance from Center to Light Source-Distance between Two Coherent Sources/2)^2+Distance between Slits and Screen^2)

Path Difference for Constructive Interference in YDSE

Go Path Difference for Constructive Interference = (Distance from Center to Light Source for C I*Distance between Two Coherent Sources)/Distance between Slits and Screen

Path Difference in YDSE given Distance between Coherent Sources

Go Path Difference = Distance between Two Coherent Sources*sin(Angle from Slit Center to Light Source)

Path Difference for Maxima in YDSE

Go Path Difference for Maxima = Integer*Wavelength

Path Difference for Minima in YDSE Formula

Path Difference for Minima = (2*Integer+1)*Wavelength/2
Δx_min = (2*n+1)*λ/2

What is Resultant Intensity?

Resultant intensity is the combined intensity of overlapping waves after interference. It results from adding the individual intensities of the waves, considering their phase relationship. Constructive interference increases intensity, while destructive interference reduces it.
