    Intro Physics Books on Phase and Amplitude of a sine wave

    Hi! I am searching for litterature on the decomposition of a sine wave in its three parameters: phase, frequency and amplitude. I just need it to justify an analysis that I am doing this way and it appears to be hard to find such a book. I find many website but nothing I can cite seriously! Thanks!

    Topological phase and spontaneous symmetry breaking coexist?

    As we know topological phases cannot be explained using spontaneous symmetry breaking and order parameter. But can they coexist? Suppose there is a system which is undergoing quantum phase transition to a anti-ferromagnetic phase from a disordered phase. So in the anti-ferromagnetic phase...

    Why does a 90° phase shift maximize induction motor torque?

    Capacitor-start induction motors use a capacitor in series with the start winding to create torque to start the motor. After the motor gets nearly up to full speed, a switch takes the capacitor out of the circuit. I understand the torque is caused by the phase shift created by having the...

    Why there is mod 2pi in Berry phase?

    Some books say that there is a gauge transform that we can put an extra phase e^{i \phi ( R(t))} to the wave function. Since R(t=0) = R(t=T), difference in \phi = 2 pi n, where n is any integers. As gauge transform would lead to 2 pi n difference, berry phase is determined up to 2pi n. However...

    Why do phase trxns behave differently than chemical rxns?

    If we have solid water (ice) at -5 C and atm P, then according to thermodynamics, the process that takes that ice (at -5 C & atm P) from solid to liquid is non-spontaneous, which means its ΔG > 0. Hence, it is impossible for someone to observe ice melt to liquid at -5 C, and assuming we started...
