Phase difference Definition and 162 Threads

I have just done an experiment on CR and LR circuits. http://img9.picsplace.to/img9/21/RC.jpg Connect channel 1 of the CRO across both the capacitor and resistor and channel 2 across the resistor.The trace on channel 1 is taken as the p.d. across the capacitor and that on channel 2 as ths...

Hi i have read that one signal is polarized when the phase remains the same (the phase difference is always the same) But what is the phase difference?

For some reason I have trouble with questions like this. How would I get the phase difference if I were given the time delay of two loudspeakers side by side? I'll use this question as an example: "The speakers are now placed side by side. If the wire to speaker 1 is passed through a...

Hello, I am having difficulty answering the following problem: consider two antennas, separated by X meters that radiate in phase at f. A reciever placed 150 m from both antennas measures an intensity I_o. The reciever is moved so that it is 1.8 m closer to one antenna than ot the other...

What is the physical significance of phase or phase difference

if i have two sinusoidal waveform that are out of phase.. is it possible to calculate the phase difference knowing the frequency and time interval between the peaks of the waves? im sure it is but I am stumped on how to go about it. I am sure its quite easty.. any ideas? thanks very much...

Pardon the pun, but what's the difference between path difference and phase difference (when talking about interfering light waves)?

Can anyone explain the following to me; what is phase difference and coherence? what actually is diffraction and why does it happen (is it something to do with Huygens principle?) why do you observe circular fringes when using the Michelson interferometer your help is much...

A simple question. I though Maxwell said that : 1. The change of electric field generates magnetic field. 2. The change of Magnetic field generates Electric field. So, simple algorithm tells me there shall be a 90 degree of phase difference between the peaks of E field and B...

Hi i posted here before and got great help, and I ran into another problem maybe you can help me this is the question. Two loud speakers are placed on a wall 2.00 m apart. A listener stands 3.00m from the wall direclty infront of one of the speakers. A single ocillator is driving the speakers...
