32. 1. Coherence & Interference Coherence 同調性和干涉 同調性 Waves are coherent they maintain a constant phase relation. ( also same freq & wavelength ) 波動同調 他們保持固定的相位關係。(頻率和波長都一樣) Steady interference patterns occur only when waves are coherent. 穩定的干涉型樣祗有在波動同調時才會出現。 Coherence length = typical length of wave train. 同調長度 = 波列的典型長度 not const. : incoherent 不固定：非同調 Waves from different sources cannot be coherent. 來自不同源頭的波不能同調。 Interference occurs only for waves from same source but travelling on different paths. 祗有來自同一源頭，但行走不同路線的波才能干涉 = const. : coherent 固定：同調
