Can beats be observed in two light sources of nearly equal frequencies ?

Answer» No, as emission of light from atoms is a random and rapid phenomenon. The phase at a point due to two independent light sources will change rapidly and randomly. Therefore, instead of beats, we shall get uniform intensity.
However, if light sources are laser beams of nearly equal frequencies, we may be able to observe the phenomenon of beats in light.
