Graduate Do two coherent light beams traveling in the same direction cancel if 180° out of phase?
Thanks people :) I'll be sure to look into those links... -

Lets take a laser beam, split it into 2 beams, pass one through vacuum and the other one through a gas filled tube, and then recombine them and you get a combination of 2 identical laser beams with different phases, and that I've managed to do in a lab. I indeed got an interference pattern due... -

The issue is that theoreticly, one could create such a situation with light waves -

That's exactly what I thought, but how do you resolve the issue with light waves? -

Hello fellow physicists :) I have the following question: take a beam of light traveling in some direction x, let's use lasers due to their coherency and monochromatic properties. Now let's take another nearly identical beam traveling in the same direction x, only that it's 180° in phase with...
