This Demonstration shows the two-dimensional intensity distribution generated by the interference of two coherent wave sources. The distance between the two sources, as well as their wavelength, can be varied. Lines of constructive and destructive interference can be displayed, hyperbolic in shape. The locator on the diffraction pattern can be moved to show the path difference as an integer or half-integer multiple of the wavelength.
