What are coherent sources?

उत्तर १
Two sources that emit light waves of the same frequency, having a constant phase difference, independent of time, are called coherent sources of light.
उत्तर २
Light or wave sources that produce waves with a consistent phase relationship across time are known as coherent sources. This indicates that the waves' phase difference either stays constant or varies predictably.
