The results are summarised in the table below:
The angles are given in algebraic notation relative to the graduation zero.

minimum difference
We observe that for angles in the range of -25 deg. to +25 deg., the variation of the angle θ
from one peak to the adjacent peak (and from a minimum to the adjacent minimum) is
constant and equal to:
As for the number of peaks and of minima, we have:
The differences between the peaks and the minima is identical and there are regularly
alternated.
Note: The results are similar with other values. For example with a=8 cm and D=30 cm, the mean
difference is ∆θ ≈ 6°

If the two waves arrive in phase at point M, they have constructive a effect and their
amplitudes are added: this yields a maximum amplitude point called internode.

If the two waves arrive in opposition of phase at point M, they have a destructive
effect and their amplitudes are subtracted: this yields a point with zero amplitude (if
the amplitudes are equal) or a low amplitude (equal to the amplitude difference),
called node.
