Phase and Phase difference Flashcards
1
Q
How are the positions in a wave presented?
A
In radians or degrees on a sine wave
2
Q
How do you find the phase difference between two points on the same wave?
A
Find the difference in phase between the two points
3
Q
How do you determine the phase difference between two waves?
A
Method 1:
* choose a point
* draw a vertical line
* find the phases of the wave on each point and find the difference
Method 2:
* Δbetween two points of a wave in phase/λ x 2π
