Chapter 16: Phase of wave definition #547

Closed alexpi closed 3 years ago

alexpi commented 3 years ago

There is this sentence in the text: "The phase of Math.sin’s wave, the width of a wave it produces, is 2π." Is phase the correct term for the width of the wave? From what I understand phase is the starting point, or the location of a point in the wave.

You're absolutely right. Thanks for catching that.
