Ø Introduction
Coherence and Interference are two ideal wave features that complement each other.The wave interference do occur but for it to be considered constructive interference,it needs the coherence of some of the physical quantities of the waves involved; the wavelength, amplitude, and phase of the constituent wave forms must be identical.The most distinct concept of coherence in waves requires that the wave are in phase,their peaks are aligned with each other.
Ø Coherence
This is a property holding for two or more waves with logical and consistent ability of sticking together, it is a wave feature marked with an orderly correlation between waves having identical physical quantities.Coherence describes all properties of the correlation between physical quantities of a single wave, or between several waves or wave packets.\[1\of sticking together, it is a wave feature marked with an orderly correlation between waves having identical physical quantities."Coherence describes all properties of the correlation between physical quantities of a single wave, or between several waves or wave packets".[1] Wiki Markup
