Interference Of Waves
Coherent Source:
The source which emits waves with the same frequency, wavelength
and phase or having a constant phase difference is known as a
coherent source.

Phase difference and path
difference:
The temporal period by which one wave leads or lags another is defined as the
phase difference. It is important to emphasize that phase difference is a relative
attribute of two or more waves, not just one.
The path difference between any two waveforms is the distance they traverse. It
is the difference in distance between the source and the observer. The path
difference is often used to determine both constructive and destructive wave
interference.
Relation between Phase Difference and Path Difference
For any two waves of the same frequency, the phase difference and path
difference are connected as-.
Phase Difference = (2π * path difference)/wavelength
