For constructive interference the two monochromatic light waves should be in phase.
If the path difference is , then the phase difference is .
Thus, for constructive interference the two waves will be in phase if is a multiple of i.e where is an integer.
Thus, corresponds to path difference.

The window glass has index of refraction 1.60. (a) What minimum thickness is required, if light of wavelength in air reflected from the two sides of the film is to interfere constructively? (b) It is found to be difficult to manufacture and install coatings as thin as calculated in part (a). What is the next greatest thickness for which there will also be constructive interference?

Such very massive binaries are of considerable interest since they may form the progenitors of coalescing binary black holes such as those detected by LIGO (i)A binary in the centre of our galaxy is composed of stars of masses 80 Mo and 60 Mo. Assuming an average mass loss rate of 10-5 Mo yr-1 and a lifetime of 3 million years for both stars.what are the masses of the resultant black holes if the stars collapse directly to form them without any further mass loss (i.e. they do not undergo supernovae)? (ii) These two black holes subsequently merge to leave a single black hole of mass 74 Mo. How much energy is carried away by gravitational radiation?
