Path Difference for Destructive Interference in YDSE Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Distance from Center to Light Source = (2*Number n+1)*Wavelength/2
y = (2*n+1)*λ/2
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Distance from Center to Light Source - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from Center to Light Source is the length from the center of the slit to the light source.
Number n - Number n will hold the numeric value for A.
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength can be defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Number n: 5 --> No Conversion Required
Wavelength: 26.8 Centimeter --> 0.268 Meter (Check conversion here)

6 Path Difference in YDSE Calculators

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 = (Distance from Center to Light Source*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 Destructive Interference in YDSE
Go Distance from Center to Light Source = (2*Number n+1)*Wavelength/2
Path Difference for Minima in YDSE
Go Path Difference = (2*Number n+1)*Wavelength/2
Path Difference for Maxima in YDSE
Go Path Difference = Number n*Wavelength

Path Difference for Destructive Interference in YDSE Formula

Distance from Center to Light Source = (2*Number n+1)*Wavelength/2
