An interference pattern is obtained by the superposition of light from two slits. When light passes through narrow slits, the slits act as sources of coherent waves and light spreads out as semicircular waves. Pure constructive interference occurs where the waves are crest to crest or trough to trough. Pure destructive interference occurs where they are crest to trough.

Waves start out from the slits in phase (crest to crest), but they may end up out of phase (crest to trough) at the screen if the paths differ in length by half a wavelength, interfering destructively.
