Phi-le that one under "regrets".

Whenever I come to prosoundweb, I always head to the basement first. Threads like this are why.


I had a professor a while back who explained phase to us as "kinda the direction the waveform starts" and thus waveforms have positive and negative phase. He was a networking prof attempting to explain how a modem works. I guess he was a little out of his element. Almost drew him a unit circle on the test, but decided to just play along.


Question: Something I've wondered, why is the null set symbol used? Is there some sort of link, or is just a standard?

I don't know, but it's also pretty much the same as the symbol for diameter.

It's probably the Greek letter phi.

It's customary in physics and engineering to write the angular frequency of a sine wave with a lowercase Greek omega and the phase with a lowercase Greek phi:

sin(omega*t + phi).

Technically, complex numbers are often used so frequently there are terms like exp[i*(omega*t + phi)] but I digress. As my mathematical physics prof once said, complex analysis is all fun and games until somebody loses an i...

Mathematical physics...that sounds like all sorts of bad things. ;)

Here is a picture. I don't think that the line is vertical enough to be phi.

It looks to me like a globe with a polar axis.
