\\*y = 2\sin\frac{2\pi}{T} t \Rightarrow \frac{a}{2} =a\sin\frac{2\pi t}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} = sin\frac{2\pi t}{3} \\* \sin\frac{2\pi t}{3} = \sin\frac{\pi}{6} \Rightarrow \frac{2\pi t}{3} = \frac{\pi}{6} \Rightarrow t = \frac{1}{4} sec

 

Phase constant -

The constant \delta appearing in eqation x=A\sin \left ( wt+\delta \right ) is called phase constant. It describes initial state.

 

- wherein

This constant depends on the choice of the instant t=0.
