drawing a graph of Phase difference of (Pi/4). can I just add to any point on the wave 45 degrees. or do I have to do like whats on this page http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjjrXNDCJZMNvDwDqRTh7zvsy6IX?qid=20070425082943AAgqb6z

But if I will plot a displacement - Time graph, I have to find the corresponding T using the formula (Phase difference = (delta t / T) * 2pi) correct?

Move every point on the curve a distance of 45º in the direction of the x-axis.

Shift the curve in the direction of x axis by time corresponding to 45 degree. You will get new curve which is has a phase difference of 45 degrees. (The difference of pi/4 means second curve starts when the first completes 45 deg.)

If it's Φ+Ï/4 you just shift every point on the Φ wave Ï/4 radians to the left. If it's Φ-Ï/4, shift every point Ï/4 radians to the right.
