title:  Wave Board 1
aka:  Two point source interference model

Description:
The two openings on the left represent wave sources or slits.  The points on the right represent locations of interest in the interference pattern and mark locations of constructive interference.

On flip side is a similar model for single slit diffraction.  See Wave Board 2.

Question?
   How different is the path length from each source (in terms of wavelengths) to the points indicated.
