No. In order to be coherent, the light waves have to be in phase and stay in phase, and the only way for that to happen is for them to have the same wavelength and frequency.

What is the difference between a monochromatic light and coherent light waves?

The term "mono" refers to a singular object or subject. The term "chrome" refers to colors. The term "monochrome" is a reference to a single color. ie., if two lights are monochromatic that means they have same wavelength. If two waves are monochromatic (having the same wavelength) and are of the same phase, these two waves are defined as coherent waves. Sources generating such waves are known as coherent sources.


What are coherent sources Give example.?

Coherent sources are sources of waves that have a constant phase difference between them. An example of coherent sources is two identical lasers emitting light waves with the same frequency and wavelength.


What is light whose waves all have the same wavelength direction and coincidental peaks called?

That is called coherent light. It consists of waves with the same frequency and phase relationship, resulting in interference patterns and laser beams.


What is a chart thatarranges waves into different categories according to wavelength?

A spectrum is a chart that arranges waves into different categories according to wavelength.


What is coherent light?

Coherent light is light in which the electric and magnetic fields are perfectly synchronized and oscillate in phase with each other. This results in a single wavelength and direction, allowing the light waves to constructively interfere and produce a uniform, focused beam. Laser light is an example of coherent light.

How the constructive interference occurs?

coherent waves are waves of the same frequency (same wavelength) and constant phase difference.

Why are lasers different from other kinds of light?

Because laser light is highly coherent: all one wavelength with all the peaks aligned (all waves completely in phase). Ordinary light is not coherent.

What Light of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is what?

Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.


Are waves with a shorter wavelength different from those with a longer wavelength?

No, they're all waves, they're all the same!


Light of a single wavelength and having all waves in phase is?

called coherent light. This light can produce interference patterns and is commonly produced by lasers due to its focused and efficient properties.


What are coherence?

COHERENT WAVESWhen the light waves are emitted from a single source and they have the zero phase difference between them then the waves are said to be coherent. The coherent waves are shown below:
