from
Wikipedia
Waves of different frequencies ( in light these are different colours ) can interfere to form a pulse if they have a fixed relative phase-relationship ( see Fourier transform ).
Conversely, if waves of different frequencies are not coherent, then, when combined, they create a wave that is continuous in time ( e. g. white light or white noise ).
