3. Revision
A sinusoid is a signal that has the form of the sine or cosine function.
A general expression for the sinusoid,
where
Vm = the amplitude of the sinusoid
ω = the angular frequency in radians/s
Ф = the phase

4. Revision
A periodic function is one that satisfies v(t) = v(t + nT), for all t and for all integers n.
Only two sinusoidal values with the same frequency can be compared by their amplitude and phase difference.
If phase difference is zero, they are in phase; if phase difference is not zero, they are out of phase.
