📘 Parameters

|A| = Amplitude
2π/B = Period
C = Phase Shift (Horizontal)
D = Vertical Shift (Midline)

Changing these parameters stretches, compresses, or moves the wave without changing its fundamental S-shape.

✍️ Applications

  • Sound Waves: A is volume, B is pitch (frequency).
  • Tides: D is average sea level, A is high tide height.
  • AC Current: Oscillates 60 times a second (B = 120π for 60Hz).

🏗️ Modeling

  • You can model daylight hours over a year using a sine function.
  • Period = 365 days.
  • Phase shift aligns the peak with Summer Solstice.

⚠️ B vs Period

  • B is the "Angular Frequency".
  • Period (T) is how long one cycle takes physically.
  • T = 2π / B.

✅ Key Takeaways

  • Range: The output calculates between [D - |A|] and [D + |A|].
