   Phase
   If you call a 'system' anything that is in a bucket, that a 'phase' is a part of the system that can be (at least in theory) separated mechanically without any chemical reaction, and is of uniform composition. You could have ice and water mixed in a bucket (two phases) ice and soda water (three phases, if you count the bubbles) or ice and salad dressing (three phases - ice, oil, and vinegar - yuck).

   Phase
   1) The amount by which one sine wave leads or lags a second wave of the same frequency. The difference is described by the term phase angle. Sine waves in phase reinforce each other; those out of phase cancel.
   2)A measurement (expressed in degrees) of the time difference between two similar waveforms.

    Phase
    Phase describes the time relationship between two different waveforms. It is expressed in degrees, with 360 degrees representing a full cycle. It is the amount by which one sine wave leads or lags a second wave of the same frequency. The difference is described by the term phase angle. Sine waves in phase reinforce each other; those out of phase cancel

    Phase is the measure of progression of a periodic wave. Phase identifies the position at any instant which a periodic wave occupies in its cycle. It can also be discribed as the time relationship between two signals.andA portion of a material system whose properties and composition are homogeneous and which is physically distinct from other parts o...
