Linear polarization interference occurs when two waves with electric fields aligned along different axes, such as one along the x-axis and the other along the y-axis, interact. In the absence of any matter that alters the polarization, these two linearly polarized waves do not interfere with each other. The fundamental principle is that interference requires a phase relationship between the waves, which is not present when their polarizations are orthogonal. Therefore, the conclusion is that linear polarization interference cannot happen under these conditions.
