Error frecuente:
Learners often confuse 'coherence' with 'cohesion' in writing. 'Coherence' is about the logical flow of ideas, while 'cohesion' is about the links between sentences and paragraphs (for example, using words like 'however', 'therefore'). Another mistake is using 'coherence' as an adjective; the correct adjective is 'coherent'.

Significado
wave property: fixed phase relation
Colocaciones

|spatial coherence
|quantum coherence
|coherence length
|coherence time
Sinónimos
correlation (In this context, refers to a statistical or physical relationship between waves; 'coherence' is a more specific technical term about phase.)
Antónimos
incoherence (In wave physics, describes waves that do not maintain a fixed phase relation, so they do not interfere in a stable way.)
Temas
science
|technology
Definición
In physics, a quality of waves like light or sound, when they stay in step with each other so they can mix in a clear pattern.
In physics, the property of waves, such as light or sound, having a constant phase relationship, which allows them to combine in a stable and predictable way.
