Are there any programs I can use to simulate a sinwave?

Like what would be generated by an oscilloscope?

I only have a basic ac circuit with a resistor and capacitor

Thanks in advance

If all you want to do is generate a sine wave, just use Excel. Do you have access to Excel?

What are your goals for your simulation?

The more specific you can be the better the help that you will receive.

Thanks

I just need to take a screen shot of the sine wave that would have been produced when i conducted an experiment using an oscilloscope to show the phase angle and i don't have a copy of the one that i used.

You don't get a sine wave from a resistor and a capacitor...
 
Try LTSpice IV. See attachment.

  • LTspice screenshot of an RC low-pass circuit driven by a sine source V1, with R1 = 1000 and C1 = 2u, and a transient plot of V(n001) input and V(n002) output over 0 to 20ms, the output lagging and smaller in amplitude.

Use Mathematica to plot a sine wave. It has a very simple syntax and short learning curve. Alternatively use a graphic calculator or any plotter software available online for free.
