The {eq}x {/eq}-coordinate of this point measures this phase shift: $$\textrm{phase shift}=x $$ Vocabulary to Determine Amplitude, Period, & Phase Shift of a Sine Function From its Graph
Calculate the phase shift of a wave if the time difference between it and another wave is 0.1 seconds and its period is 0.001 seconds. Therefore, the phase shift of the wave is 3.6 degrees.
