Popis: The physical conditions for observing the longitudinal spatial coherence of light of an extended thermal source in interference experiments are defined. For experimental verification of these conditions a Michelson interferometer with a longitudinal scanning mirror was used. The influence of the longitudinal spatial coherence of thermal light on a fringe envelope is demonstrated experimentally.
