I have been studying interference of light waves for a while now and I have a doubt.

I have never seen any sources (books, internet , teachers) ever take into consideration about the "actual" physical angle between Electric fields of interfering waves (or equivalently that between the Magnetic fields of interfering waves) other than the phase difference.

  1. So do we (books , teachers , Physicists) take into account this angle, in general?
  2. In case they (books ,teachers , Physicists) do ignore this angle, what are the corresponding assumptions?

P.S. Any source dealing with the examples on the same would be highly appreciated.

Do we take into account the physical angle between Electric fields and Magnetic fields during interference of light?
