coherent

Definition of coherent in English English dictionary: Sticking together; Aesthetically ordered; Orderly, logical and consistent; Of waves having the same direction, wavelength and phase, as light in a laser; Logically consistent; applied to persons; as, a coherent thinker; signifies that something can be clearly and easily understood; -Means that two-thirds or more of the soil material, whether composed of peds or not, will remain united at the given moisture stage unless force is applied; A light wave whose parts are all in phase with each other; As applied to light waves, having identical frequency and identical phase, and traveling in the same direction Lasers produce coherent light; Composed of mutually dependent parts; making a logical whole; consistent; as, a coherent plan, argument, or discourse; The optical radiation resulting from wave trains vibrating in phase with each other Because these wave trains are composed of the same wavelength of light, they are termed "coherent "; Sticking together; cleaving; as the parts of bodies; solid or fluid; Electromagnetic waves generated by one (or more) source(s) are coherent when they have the same frequency and phase, both in time as well as in space; (adj ) Characteristic of two periodic signals that are phase-locked to a common submultiple The subcarrier of a studio-quality NTSC signal is coherent with its sync; Something that is logically connected; If someone is coherent, they express their thoughts in a clear and calm way, so that other people can understand what they are saying.
