Because the moment of emission the polarization and the propagation direction , the direction of the wave vector is random. Spontaneous emission causes incoherent radiation.

Why spontaneous emission is incoherent?

During spontaneous emission, photons are emitted randomly and hence they will not in phase with each other. such light is irregular and mixed of different frequencies,direction and duration.therefore the beam of light emitted is incoherent.sudhir tiwari.sharda university


Is there any completely incoherent light?

It's not clear exactly what you mean by "completely incoherent." Blackbody radiation is given off at any angle and any phase, but the shape of the intensity/frequency curve is determined by the temperature; is that close enough to "completely incoherent"?


What is spontaneous emission of radiation from an element?

This could have many names such as 'decay', 'radioactive decay', or 'radiation.


What is the spontaneous disintegration in which particles or electromagnetic radiation are emitted?

Radioactivity


Would it make sense if heat sterilized by surgical instruments or tins if any spontaneous generation?

Your question is truly incoherent. It needs to be seriously re-phrased.


What is incoherent scattering?

Incoherent scatteringis a type of scattering phenomenon in physics. The term is most commonly used when referring to the scattering of an electromagnetic wave (usually light or radio frequency) by random fluctuations in a gas of particles (most often electrons).


Spontaneous emission of radiation from an atom?

This physical phenomenon is called radioactivity.


What is the difference between spontaneous emission of radiation and stimulated emission of radiation?

The laser causes the stimulated emission of radiation. The light emitted is monochromatic and coherent,that is plane polarised. I imagine that spontaneous emission occurs in a Light emitting diode ,monochromatic but not polarised. Hope this is of help


Use incoherent in a sentence?

Incoherent means expressed in a confusing way. The tired toddler was incoherent , when explaining what they wanted for lunch.


What part of speech is the word incoherent?

"Incoherent" is an adjective


What is the spontaneous disintegration in which particles and or electromagnetic radiation are emitted?

Spontaneous disintegration in which particles and/or electromagnetic radiation are emitted is known as radioactive decay. This process occurs in unstable atomic nuclei as they transform into more stable configurations, releasing energy in the form of particles (such as alpha or beta particles) and/or electromagnetic radiation (such as gamma rays).
