In double sew interfere with experiment, make each one sew use a light source, would still have the interference?
The discussion revolves around the double-slit interference experiment and the effects of using separate light sources instead of a single coherent source. Participants explore the implications of coherence and phase differences in relation to interference patterns.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the necessity of coherence for interference in light sources, with differing opinions on whether separate sources can produce interference patterns.
There are unresolved assumptions regarding the definitions of coherence and phase difference as they apply to light versus other wave phenomena, such as water waves.

Obviously English is not your first language, so it would not be good for people to make jokes about or put you down about it. But you still need to accept that people will have trouble understanding you, if your English isn't good enough.
I think you are asking the following: In a double-slit interference experiment [where the light through both slits actually comes from a single source], what happens if you use two separate sources of light?
In that situation, you will usually not have interference, because the two sources need to have a constant phase difference between them, that is, they have to be coherent with each other. This is hard to do with real light sources, even with lasers.
