Two bulbs lighting the same wall can be considered incoherent sources because their light waves do not have a fixed phase relationship with each other. Incoherent sources emit light with random phase differences, meaning the peaks and troughs of their light waves do not align consistently. As a result, when these waves overlap or superimpose on the wall, the resulting pattern is unpredictable and constantly changing.
