phase diference=path difference x (360 degrees/wavelength)
The phase difference between two waves is directly proportional to the path difference between them. The phase difference is a measure of how much the wave has shifted along its oscillation cycle, while the path difference is a measure of the spatial separation between two points where the waves are evaluated.
In constructive interference, the path difference between two waves is an integer multiple of the wavelength, leading to a phase difference of 0 or a multiple of 2π. This results in the waves being in phase and adding up constructively to produce a larger amplitude.
Because the path difference or the phase difference between two waves is zero
Only if you are grounded and provide a return path for the current to travel.
it is a path in which magnitude and phase can be determine . it is used to determine the
The phase difference between two points on a wave front is the measure of how much the phase of one point lags behind or leads ahead of the phase of another point. It is usually given in radians and depends on the difference in path lengths from the source to the two points. The phase difference is important in understanding interference patterns and wave interactions.

The waves will be in phase when they combine. Two waves that are in phase have reached corresponding points in their wave cycle, regardless of the path length difference traveled. In this case, the extra two wavelengths traveled by one of the waves will not affect their phase relationship.
The path difference is the difference in the physical distance between the two sources to the observer, i.e., the difference in distance travelled from the source to the observer.
