    Constructive and destructive interference occur when waves from two sources meet at an observation point. Constructive interference results when the path difference between the waves is equal to an integer multiple of the wavelength. Destructive interference occurs when the path difference is equal to an odd integer multiple of half the wavelength. The document provides examples of path differences that cause constructive and destructive interference.
