It doesn't work like that; we're dealing with quantum particles and you can't apply classical notions to them. A photon doesn't have "a phase" because it isn't like a little squiggle - as shown on the Feynman (peace be upon him), in his diagrams. The wave functions, associated with each of the sources of the two photons will combine to make it very unlikely that there will be a photon interaction with 'the screen' or detector at a minimum (calculated in a classical way) and very likely that there will be an interaction at a calculated maximum (or one of the maxima on either side of the central maximum).Taqa said:if I have two photons that are 180 degrees out of phase
Destructive electromagnetic waves, also known as destructive interference, occur when two or more waves of the same frequency and amplitude combine and cancel each other out.
Destructive electromagnetic waves do not have a direct impact on our daily lives, as they are typically used in controlled environments such as laboratories for research purposes.
No, destructive electromagnetic waves do not have enough energy to cause harm to living beings. They are typically used in low energy applications and do not have the ability to penetrate or damage cells.
Examples of destructive electromagnetic waves include noise-cancelling headphones, where the sound waves produced by the headphones cancel out external noise, and anti-reflective coatings on glasses, where the coating cancels out reflections of light.
Destructive electromagnetic waves differ from other types of waves, such as constructive waves, by their ability to cancel out each other when they meet. This is due to their equal amplitude and frequency, causing them to destructively interfere with one another.
