Question

Is the sun a coherent source?


Open in App
Solution

Coherent source: Light waves having the same frequency, wavelength, and phase, or with a constant phase difference, are emitted by a coherent source.

  1. Sun is not a coherent source of radiation because it has lots of different wavelengths and frequencies.
  2. A LASER is the source of coherent light because it has only one wavelength.
