Answer to Question #159565 in Mechanics | Relativity for Ermus Ken

Question

Is interference a property of some types of waves only or is it a property of all types of waves?

Answer 1

All kind of waves can show the interference. This could be, for example, light, radio, acoustic, surface water waves, gravity waves, or matter waves. But only one condition: these waves should be coherent (similar frequency and constant phase shift).

Answer. All types of waves, but only if they are coherent.
