And exactly which part of "linear system" do you fail to understand?

When two equal amplitude coherent signals are superposed,
the resulting power density can be four times the power
density of one of the single waves due to constructive
interference.

That is not true for two equal amplitude non-coherent
waves of different frequencies. The interference term
averages out to zero so there are no bright rings and
dark rings.


Yes, yes, you've posted all that a billion times before in this NG.
Now, exactly what part of "linear system" do you fail to understand?

(I might also ask why you're going to so much trouble to be
disagreeable with something that agrees with what you were
posting...but I think I already know the answer to that one.)
