Q

( Blank) refers to the position of the sinusoidal motion. This particularly of Nate when there is more than one sinusoid

A

Phase

17
Q

What are the three different ways to discuss phases ?

A
  1. In phase : sinusoid starts together > 0 degrees
    2/ 90 degrees of of phase : one signal starts 1/4 of a cycle ahead of the other signals
  2. 180 degrees out of phase : one signal starts 1/2 of a cycle ahead of the other and cancels it out
18
Q

(Blank) is the distance traveled by a sound wave during one period of vibration ( length )
- you can measure between any two points with the same phase
