The two waves shown are

<<c(1)>>

  A. out of phase by $\pi$.
  A. out of phase by $\pi / 2$.
  A. out of phase by $\pi / 4$.
  A. in phase.


== Young's double slit experiment ==

An interference pattern is seen from two slits. Now, cover one slit with glass, introducing a phase difference of $\pi$ (180$^\circ$; half wavelength) at the slits. How is the pattern altered?

<<c>>

<<c(1)>>

  A. pattern vanishes.
  A. pattern expands.
  A. bright and dark spots are interchanged.
  A. no change at all.

Young’s double slit experiment

An interference pattern is seen from two slits. Now, cover one slit with glass, introducing a phase difference of $\pi$ (180$^\circ$; half wavelength) at the slits. How is the pattern altered?
