    I've never understood how you work out phase difference and the phase between 2 points on a wave, nobody has EVER described it as imagining the wave as a circle, that really helped, thanks!

    @panyida Před 5 lety +1

    thanks a lot for your video, but I had a question.AT the start of the video, you said that a wave can be thought of a circle, which it stars from a point and ends at the starting point, and a full circle is 2pi radians and half of a circle is like 1 pi radian but for the sine graph , it goes back to its original position at half of the period which is 1 pi in circle graph , so i think for circle graph it should be 2 circles instead of asingle circle.

    • @musarasheed1443
      @musarasheed1443 Před 5 lety +1

      while you aren't wrong about the fact it goes to its original displacement after 1 radian, the definition of 1 oscillation is going from the "maximum positive point" or the positive amplitude, then going to the "maximum negative point" or the negative amplitude and returning to the equilibrium position. a particle has to go to these 2 extreme points once for it to be considered 1 amplitude. That is why 1 wavelength looks the way it does (1 positive hump then 1 negative hump).
