Definition of Constructive Interference:
Interference occurs when two or more waves meet while traveling through the same medium. There are two types of interference that could take place at any given location along the medium. If at a given location, both interfering waves are displaced in the same direction (both up or both down), then constructive interference is said to occur at that location.
