This lecture covers the topic of interference of electromagnetic waves, focusing on the calculation of interference in the context of two slits. The instructor explains the concept of interference using coherent sources and discusses the conditions for constructive and destructive interference. The lecture delves into the mathematical calculations involved in determining the intensity of the interference pattern, considering factors such as phase relations and frequency. Various scenarios of interference are explored, emphasizing the importance of phase coherence and the relationship between the distance of the slits and the wavelength of the waves.
