Two light waves will interfere constructively if the path-length difference between them is a whole number.

<h3>SUPERPOSITION</h3>

The principle of superposition state that, when two or more waves meet at a point, the resultant displacement at that point is equal to the sum of the displacements of the individual waves at that point.

Interference of waves can either be constructive, or destructive.

The two light waves, initially emitted in phase, will interfere constructively with maximum amplitude if the path-length difference between them is a whole number of wavelenght 1λ, 2λ, 3λ, 4λ etc

The equivalent phase differences between the waves will be 2\pi or 360 degrees, 4\pi or 720 degrees, 6\pi 1080 degrees etc

Therefore, the two light waves, initially emitted in phase, will interfere constructively with maximum amplitude if the path-length difference between them is a whole number.

mario62 [17]
I don't know if you need to complete this question or do it otherwise, however, I managed to find on the Internet on several places this completion of your sentence:
<span>Electric current flows through a long rod generating thermal energy at a uniform volumetric rate of q = 2 x 10</span>⁶ W/m³. 
I'm not sure whether that is the answer you were looking for, but that's what I found.
