Coherence is an attribute of physical quantities which can be described in terms of waves. It refers to a particular situation where a well-defined wavefront can be defined, like in classical optics.

This should probably live at coherence (physics); I'd redirect, but I don't know if that's actually a good name for a topic in physics.
