The main exam word are "constant phase relationship"-in simple terms this means the two sources of waves need to be in phase when they set off. This is the requirement for the two sets of waves to produce a regular Youngs Slits type interference pattern. In practice, this means the two sets of waves must be from the same source-e.g the same laser and two slits.
