Resultant Intensity of Incoherent Sources Formula

Resultant Intensity of Incoherent Sources = Intensity 1+Intensity 2
I_IS = I₁+I₂

What are coherent sources?

Coherent sources are light sources that emit waves with a constant phase difference and the same frequency. They produce consistent interference patterns because their waves maintain a fixed relationship in terms of phase and frequency over time.

How to Calculate Resultant Intensity of Incoherent Sources?

Resultant Intensity of Incoherent Sources calculator uses Resultant Intensity of Incoherent Sources = Intensity 1+Intensity 2 to calculate the Resultant Intensity of Incoherent Sources, Resultant Intensity of Incoherent Sources formula is defined as the total intensity of light resulting from the combination of two or more incoherent light sources, which do not maintain a fixed phase relationship with each other, producing a cumulative effect on the overall intensity. Resultant Intensity of Incoherent Sources is denoted by I_IS symbol.
