#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?

@crackurbones As far as I know, phase of an individual wave shouldn't matter. However, if we allow multiple waves (of sound, light etc.) to interact and interfere, you do get noticeable changes, but that's besides the main point here.
