Coherence refers to the quality of being logical, consistent, and making sense. In writing or speaking, coherence ensures that ideas are clear and connected in a way that is easy to follow and understand.

Is coherence important in reflaction and refraction?

Yes, coherence is important in both reflection and refraction. In reflection, coherence ensures that the wavefronts remain in phase after reflection. In refraction, coherence helps to maintain the continuity of the wavefronts as the light passes through different mediums.


What does coherece mean?

I don't believe 'coherece' is a real word, but you possibly mean 'coherence' which refers to the ability to be easily understood, or followed.


What does incohorently mean?

Incoherently means lacking coherence or logical connection; not making sense or not organized in a clear or logical way.


What are the coherence lengths of the different types of lasers?

Fiber optic lasers can have coherence lengths greater than 100 km. Helium-neon lasers can produce light with coherence lengths greater than 5 m but 20 cm is typical. Laser diode chips are a fraction of a mm on a side and so coherence lengths on that order are expected, however some of the cheapest laser pointers can produce coherence lengths of 20 cm for short intervals of time and have been used to create holograms. In general the length depends on many variables. The typical red light laser diode (λ= 650 nm) with a frequency stabilizer can have a coherence length of over 1 m. LEDs have a spectra width Δλ of about 50 nm, and may have a coherence length of 10's to 100's of μms. As a side note, because the exited states of the atoms in a tungsten filament are short lived, the coherence length is only a few micrometers (μm). Some notes about coherence lengths: Interference is only visible if the coherence length of the light is at least as long as the path-length difference that creates the interference. Spectral width in optics is related to coherence length by the formula L = λ²/(nΔλ) where λ is the central wavelength, n is the index of refraction and Δλ is the spectral width. The coherence time is the above coherence length divided by the light's phase velocity in the medium or.. τ = λ²/(cΔλ) Refer to the Related link below for Wikipedia's article on coherence length


Is it possible to have coherence between light sources emiting light of different wavelengths?

Yes, it is possible to have coherence between light sources emitting light of different wavelengths. Coherence refers to the phase relationship between two waves, and it is not dependent on the wavelengths of the light. However, achieving coherence between light sources of different wavelengths may require careful control and alignment of the sources.

How capitalism creates territorial coherence?

The government wants territorial coherence and internal stability along with political coherence. And if the people lack this the state may use deadly force to defend itself which often leads to genocide.
