Question

Two independent monochromatic sources cannot act as coherent sources, why?

Short Note

Solution

  1. Two independent monochromatic sources emit waves of the same wavelength. But the waves are not in phase. So they are not coherent.
  2. This is because atoms cannot emit light waves in the same phase.
