About Interference of Light
In
modern physics, the phenomenon of interference has unique importance and according to the opinion of scientists of modern age it could be explained only by the acceptance of the wave theory of light. On the other hand, the phenomenon of photoelectric effect could be explained only with the help of the corpuscle theory or the particle theory. Hence all the scientists of modern age accept the dual nature of light and they also believe that the subatomic particles like electrons, protons, neutrons etc. also have a dual nature, similar to that of light.
On the other hand Jain physics or Jain philosophy absolutely accepts light in the form of corpuscles and according to my opinion it is absolutely true. Therefore, in this article, I give an explanation of the phenomenon of interference of light with the help of the corpuscle theory only. Of course, when light, all the electromagnetic waves and also all subatomic particles, propagate in space, their path is serpentine or zigzag simmilar to that of waves. Thus there is no difficulty about acceptance of the corpuscle theory of light.

According to the wave theory of modern physics, when two waves from coherent sources superpose each other, the phenomenon of interference takes place. In this phenomenon if the path difference between the two
