hi,
Our teacher told us, that interference occurs, if two waves are said to be coherent.
but doesn't it have also something to do with the polarization of the two waves?
so can one observe interference, if one has:
circular or ellipctical polarized waves, when these two have a constant phase.-> I would say yes.
but now I saw in the internet, that if one has two linear polarized waves whose E-vectors have a phase angle of pi/2, then there occurs no interference, is that right?
I don't really know, if polarization has something to do with interference or not, could somebody help me?
