Complete destructive interference of partially coherent sources of acoustic waves.
Theoretical analysis has recently shown that the optical fields from several point sources may exhibit complete destructive interference even if the sources are not fully coherent with respect to each other. The experimental verification of this statement in the optical domain is not easy. In this Letter we demonstrate the effect using acoustical waves instead of light waves.
