Description : A wavefront undergoes a phase change as it travels along the fiber. If the wavefront transverses the fiber twice and is reflected twice and the total phase change is equal to 1/2 p, will the wavefront disappear? If yes, why?

Last Answer : Yes, the wavefront will disappear because the total amount of phase collected must be an integer multiple of 2 p. (If the propagating wavefronts are out of phase, they will disappear. ... interfere with the wavefronts out of phase. This type of interference is called destructive interference.)
