Since sinusoidal waves are cyclical, a particular phase difference between two waves is identical to that phase difference plus a cycle. For example, if two waves have a phase difference of π4, the interference effects would be the same as if the two waves had a phase difference of π4+2π. The complete criterion for constructive interference between two waves is therefore written as follows: phase difference=0+2πnfor any integer n Write the full criterion for destructive interference between two waves

    nπ + π/2 for any integer n

    Explanation:

    Since destructive interference occurs every odd multiple of half wavelength, that is π/2, 3π/2, 5π/2 where the interference is half wavelength and in general, (n + 1/2) π where n is an integer. So, nπ + π/2 for any integer n
