If a wave has a period of 8 s, and a phase angle of 180 degrees, will it be at a peak, trough, or on the X-axis 6 seconds after it is emitted? (assume Sin is our base function, so with a phase angle of 0 degrees the wave would be starting on the X-axis)

Concept explainers

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).
