Sine wave
An ideal
sine wave is a
waveform that is identical to (the
graphss of each wave are the same as) the generalized
sine function
y =
Asin[
ω(
x −
α)] +
C, where
A is the
amplitude,
ω is the
angular frequency (2π/
P where
P is the
wavelength),
α is the
phase shift, and
C is the vertical offset.
