Distinguish between destructive interference and constructive interference of reflected xray beams through crystals. 

Destructive interference occurs when the wave patterns of an x-ray beam, reflected from a crystal, are out of phase. Conversely, when the wave patterns leaving a crystal plane are in phase, constructive interference occurs and the beam is reinforced.
