  2. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

  3. Reflection phase change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_phase_change

    X is the susceptance of the inductance or capacitance, given respectively by ωL or −1 ⁄ ωC; L and C are, respectively, inductance and capacitance, and; ω is the angular frequency. In the case of reactive termination the phase shift will be between 0 and +180° for inductors and between 0 and −180° for capacitors.

  4. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    The phase shift of the reflected wave on total internal reflection can similarly be obtained from the phase angles of r p and r s (whose magnitudes are unity in this case). These phase shifts are different for s and p waves, which is the well-known principle by which total internal reflection is used to effect polarization transformations .

    Thus the phase shift δ p is 180° for small θ i but switches to 0° at Brewster's angle. Combining the complementarity with Snell's law yields θ i = arctan (1/n) as Brewster's angle for dense-to-rare incidence. [Note 15] (Equations and are known as Fresnel's sine law and Fresnel's tangent law. [40]

    And in functional analysis, when x is a linear function of some variable, such as time, these components are sinusoids, and they are orthogonal functions. A phase-shift of xx + π /2 changes the identity to: cos(x + φ) = cos(x) cos(φ) + cos(x + π /2) sin(φ), in which case cos(x) cos(φ) is the in-phase component.

    Conversely, a phase reversal or phase inversion implies a 180-degree phase shift. [ 2 ] When the phase difference φ ( t ) {\displaystyle \varphi (t)} is a quarter of turn (a right angle, +90° = π/2 or −90° = 270° = −π/2 = 3π/2 ), sinusoidal signals are sometimes said to be in quadrature , e.g., in-phase and quadrature components of a ...

  8. Lissajous curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lissajous_curve

    The aspect ratio of the resulting ellipse is a function of the phase shift between the input and output, with an aspect ratio of 1 (perfect circle) corresponding to a phase shift of ±90° and an aspect ratio of ∞ (a line) corresponding to a phase shift of 0° or 180°. [citation needed]

  9. Phase velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_velocity

    The phase velocity of a wave is the rate at which the wave propagates in any medium. This is the velocity at which the phase of any one frequency component of the wave travels. For such a component, any given phase of the wave (for example, the crest) will appear to travel at the phase velocity.
