Problem

Two coherent light beams of wavelength 600 nm600\,\text{nm} meet at a point on a screen where they currently produce complete destructive interference. What is the minimum additional distance that one of the beams must travel (for example, by moving a mirror) so that the same point on the screen instead exhibits complete constructive interference? a) 600 nm600\,\text{nm} b) 150 nm150\,\text{nm} c) 300 nm300\,\text{nm} d) 900 nm900\,\text{nm}
