The sine wave or sinusoid is a function that occurs often in mathematics, music, physics, signal processing, audition, electrical engineering, and many other fields. Its most basic form is:

which describes a wavelike function of time (t) with:

  • peak deviation from center = A (aka amplitude)
  • angular frequency ω, (radians per second)
  • phase = θ
    • When the phase is non-zero, the entire waveform appears to be shifted in time by the amount θ/ω seconds. A negative value represents a delay, and a positive value represents a "head-start".
Sine wave 5 seconds of a 220 Hz sine wave Problems listening to this file? See media help. The oscillation of an undamped spring-mass system around the equilibrium is a sine wave.

The sine wave is important in physics because it retains its waveshape when added to another sine wave of the same frequency and arbitrary phase. It is the only periodic waveform that has this property. This property leads to its importance in Fourier analysis and makes it acoustically unique.

What are you supposed to do in the sine curve section on Guitar Hero 4 Vocals?
Q. Ya, we can't figure it out. the track shows a beige sine curve with echos going across the screen, and there are points racking up when we sing, but we\re not quite sure how to maximize them. Is it just a free section in which to scream for the audience, or what?

A. Yep - that's a freestyle section - scream away.
