Problem

State the mathematical relation that connects phase difference ϕ\phi and path difference Δx\Delta x for two coherent waves of wavelength λ\lambda. a) ϕ=λ2π Δx\displaystyle \phi = \dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi}\,\Delta x b) ϕ=πλ Δx\displaystyle \phi = \dfrac{\pi}{\lambda}\,\Delta x c) ϕ=2πλ Δx\displaystyle \phi = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}\,\Delta x d) ϕ=Δxλ\displaystyle \phi = \dfrac{\Delta x}{\lambda}
