The formula for calculating constructive interference is:
A = A1 + A2
Where A is the amplitude of the resulting wave, A1 is the amplitude of the first wave, and A2 is the amplitude of the second wave.
The formula for calculating destructive interference is:
A = A1 - A2
Where A is the amplitude of the resulting wave, A1 is the amplitude of the first wave, and A2 is the amplitude of the second wave.
A = A1 + A2
Where A is the amplitude of the resulting wave, A1 is the amplitude of the first wave, and A2 is the amplitude of the second wave.
The formula for calculating destructive interference is:
A = A1 - A2
Where A is the amplitude of the resulting wave, A1 is the amplitude of the first wave, and A2 is the amplitude of the second wave.

Constructive Interference:
```
Path difference = n - λ
```
where:
- Path difference is the difference in distance traveled by two waves.
- n is an integer representing the order of interference (n = 0, 1, 2, ...)
- λ is the wavelength of the waves.
Destructive Interference:
```
Path difference = (n + 1/2) - λ
```
where:
- Path difference is still the difference in distance traveled by two waves.
- n is also an integer representing the order of interference (n = 0, 1, 2, ...)
- λ is still the wavelength of the waves.
```

```
where:
- Path difference is the difference in distance traveled by two waves.
- n is an integer representing the order of interference (n = 0, 1, 2, ...)
- λ is the wavelength of the waves.
