Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the context of diffraction, what does the term 'coherence' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand that waves can be light waves or sound waves.
  • Step 2: Learn that waves have a property called 'phase', which tells us where the wave is in its cycle.
  • Step 3: Know that 'coherence' means that these waves keep a consistent phase relationship over time.
  • Step 4: Realize that when waves are coherent, they can combine in a way that creates clear patterns, called interference patterns.
  • Step 5: Remember that if waves are not coherent, the patterns will be blurry or unclear.
