Phase and Phase
Difference
Physics 101
What is a phase?
Phase is the argument of the sine (or cosine)
function and is usually given by Φ
So for the equation: sin(kx+ωt+ɸ)
kx+ωt+ɸ is the phase AND ɸ is the phase
constant
Important Differences
ɸ (phase constant) is not the same as Φ
(phase)
Phase is a variable that is dependant on
position and time
The phase constant is a constant determined
by the initial conditions
Phase Difference
● The difference between two points (X1 and
X2) that are a distance apart (ΔX) at the
same time
● Denoted as ΔΦ
so:
ΔΦ
= phase of wave at X2 - phase of wave at X1
= (kX2+ωt+ɸ) - (kX1+ωt+ɸ)
= k(X2 - X1)
= kΔX
= (2ᴨ/ƛ)(Δx)
If ΔX is an integer multiple of wavelengths apart
(such as 2ƛ, 3ƛ, etc.), there is a phase
difference of an even multiple of pi (such as 2ᴨ,
4ᴨ, …) and the two phases are IN PHASE with
each other
Phase of the wave at X2 (red) - Phase of the
wave at X1(black) = ƛ (an integer multiple)
Notice that they have equal displacements
If ΔX is an odd half-integer multiple of
wavelength apart (such as 0.5ƛ, 2.5ƛ, etc.)
there is a phase difference of an odd multiple of
pi (such as 3ᴨ, 5ᴨ, …) and the two phases are
OUT OF PHASE with each other
Phase of the wave at X2 (red) - Phase of the
wave at X1(black) = ƛ/2 (an odd half integer
multiple)
Notice that they have equal displacements in
opposite directions
