B Cherenkov radiation double slit experiment

[DARKSYDE]

TL;DR Summary

C2 medium observation

If a double slit experiment utilized photons from Cherenkov radiation under water, Would we expect the same results?

Sure, why not ?

Im mainly curious due to the Cherenkov photons ability to travel faster than light ( in the medium of water )

You got something wrong - electrons,, that are cause of Cherenkov radiation, move faster than light in that medium, not photons.

That’s right thank you: I did mean to say electron because of its mass in a superluminal system.

It's an interesting question. I've never thought about the coherence of Cherenkov light. So the question is, is it coherent enough to see interference effects in a double-slit experiment?

Indeed!
