#QOTO: How, or whether, would the human eye perceive a shift in phase (angle) of electromagnetic waves in the visible fraction of the spectrum?
Like, change in frequency is perceived as change in color; change in amplitude is perceived as change in intensity of light; would the human eye be able to detect a phase shift? Are eyes of any other animal(s) able to detect phase change?
