[QUOTE="robphy, post: 5489691, member: 9587"] Phase is the argument of the trig-function describing the wave... the "angle-reading on a protractor", or think of the second-hand on an analog clock. Phase-difference is the difference in phase (phase now - phase before)... the difference in angle-readings, or the angle between the angular positions of the second-hands. (Technically, one may have to include full revolutions in certain cases..) [/QUOTE]
