coherent radiation

Coherent radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves are emitted in phase, meaning their peaks and troughs align perfectly. This results in waves reinforcing each other, creating a strong, focused beam of light or other electromagnetic energy. Laser light is a common example, where atoms or molecules are stimulated to produce synchronized waves. This coherence allows for high precision and intensity, making coherent radiation essential in applications like communications, medicine, and manufacturing. In essence, it’s a type of light or energy that’s highly organized and unified, enabling powerful and directed radiation.
