This example is a simple sine wave. By combining a sine and a cosine, a sinusoidal wave of arbitrary phase can be achieved. Click the Phase Shift button to see this.

This applet has sound if you are using java 2. Click the Sound checkbox to hear the wave. If you don't see a Sound checkbox, then you should get the Java plug-in. The sine wave sounds the same regardless of phase.
