We say a message is incoherent when we ... Destructive interference of sound waves is the principle behind noise-cancelling ...

featuring a sea of coherent small-scale dispersive shock waves (shocklets) towards the unexpected emergence of a giant collective incoherent shock wave. The front of such global incoherent shock ...

Superposition is nothing more than addition for waves. Let's say we have ... differently than if the process is incoherent. The difference is that in a coherent process, interference between ...

One might expect to see only incoherent photons and ... “To our knowledge, coherent light never has been seen before from shock waves propagating through crystals because a shocked crystal ...

At the heart of the method are the principles of diffraction and superposition, to which all waves ... coherent diffractive imaging also has a problem: 'With X-ray light, in most cases incoherent ...

Unlike lasers, thermal sources such as light-bulb filaments usually emit incoherent radiation ... of silicon carbide emits coherent infrared light in well-defined directions like an antenna (Nature ...

emit light that's highly coherent, meaning the waves are strongly correlated. The sun and incandescent light bulbs emit weakly correlated waves, which are generally said to be "incoherent ...

These events give off what are called coherent gravitational waves. “You can think of it as an orchestra playing harmonically,” Gottlieb said. A second type, incoherent waves, are expected to ...
