उत्तर
- Phase difference (Φ):
It is the difference expressed in degrees or radians between two waves having same frequency and referenced to same point in time. - Path difference (δ):
It is the difference between the lengths of two paths of the two different having same frequency and travelling at same velocity.
δ = `lambda/(2pi) Φ`
