Phase
(gcide) | Phase \Phase\ (f[=a]z), n.; pl. Phases (f[=a]z"[e^]z). [NL.
phasis, Gr. fa`sis, fr. fai`nein to make to appear: cf. F.
phase. See Phenomenon, Phantom, and Emphasis.]
1. That which is exhibited to the eye; the appearance which
anything manifests, especially any one among different and
varying appearances of the same object.
[1913 Webster]
2. Any appearance or aspect of an object of mental
apprehension or view; as, the problem has many phases.
[1913 Webster]
3. (Astron.) A particular appearance or state in a regularly
recurring cycle of changes with respect to quantity of
illumination or form of enlightened disk; as, the phases
of the moon or planets. See Illust. under Moon.
[1913 Webster]
4. (Physics) Any one point or portion in a recurring series
of changes, as in the changes of motion of one of the
particles constituting a wave or vibration; one portion of
a series of such changes, in distinction from a contrasted
portion, as the portion on one side of a position of
equilibrium, in contrast with that on the opposite side.
[1913 Webster]
5. (Phys. Chem.) A homogenous, physically distinct portion of
matter in a system not homogeneous; as, the three phases,
ice, water, and aqueous vapor; in a mixture of gasoline
and water, the gasoline will settle as the upper phase. A
phase may be either a single chemical substance or a
mixture, as of gases.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]
6. (Zool.) In certain birds and mammals, one of two or more
color variations characteristic of the species, but
independent of the ordinary seasonal and sexual
differences, and often also of age. Some of the herons
which appear in white and colored phases, and certain
squirrels which are sometimes uniformly blackish instead
of the usual coloration, furnish examples. Color phases
occur also in other animals, notably in butterflies.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]
7. (Physics) the relation at any instant of any cyclically
varying physical quantity, such as voltage in an A.C.
circuit, an electromagnetic wave, a sound wave, or a
rotating object, to its initial value as expressed as a
fractional part of the complete cycle. It is usually
expressed in angular measure, the complete cycle being
360[deg]. Such periodic variations are generally well
represented by sine curves; and phase relations are shown
by the relative positions of the crests and hollows of
such curves. Magnitudes which have the same phase are said
to be in phase.
Note: The concept of phase is also applied generally to any
periodically varying phenomenon, as the cycle of
daylight. One person who sleeps during the day and
another who sleeps at night may be said to be out of
phase with each other.
[PJC]
8. Specifically: (Elec.) The relation at any instant of a
periodically varying electric magnitude, as electro-motive
force, a current, etc., to its initial value as expressed
in factorial parts of the complete cycle. It is usually
expressed in angular measure, the cycle being four right
angles, or 360[deg].
[Webster 1913 Suppl.] |
Phase
(gcide) | Phase \Phase\ (f[=a]z), v. t. [Cf. Feeze.]

older spelling, now replaced by faze. [Colloq., Archaic]
Syn: faze. [Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC] |
phase
(wn) | phase
n 1: any distinct time period in a sequence of events; "we are
in a transitional stage in which many former ideas must be
revised or rejected" [syn: phase, stage]
2: (physical chemistry) a distinct state of matter in a system;
matter that is identical in chemical composition and physical
state and separated from other material by the phase
boundary; "the reaction occurs in the liquid phase of the
system" [syn: phase, form]
3: a particular point in the time of a cycle; measured from some
arbitrary zero and expressed as an angle [syn: phase,
phase angle]
4: (astronomy) the particular appearance of a body's state of
illumination (especially one of the recurring shapes of the
part of Earth's moon that is illuminated by the sun); "the
full phase of the moon"
v 1: arrange in phases or stages; "phase a withdrawal"
2: adjust so as to be in a synchronized condition; "he phased
the intake with the output of the machine" |
phase
(foldoc) | phase
day mode
night mode
1. The offset of one's waking-sleeping schedule with respect
to the standard 24-hour cycle; a useful concept among people
who often work at night and/or according to no fixed schedule.
It is not uncommon to change one's phase by as much as 6 hours
per day on a regular basis. "What's your phase?" "I've been
getting in about 8 P.M. lately, but I'm going to wrap around
to the day schedule by Friday." A person who is roughly 12
hours out of phase is sometimes said to be in "night mode".
(The term "day mode" is also (but less frequently) used,
meaning you're working 9 to 5 (or, more likely, 10 to 6).)
The act of altering one's cycle is called "changing phase";
"phase shifting" has also been recently reported from Caltech.
2. "change phase the hard way": To stay awake for a very long
time in order to get into a different phase.
3. "change phase the easy way": To stay asleep, etc. However,
some claim that either staying awake longer or sleeping longer
is easy, and that it is *shortening* your day or night that is
really hard (see wrap around). The "jet lag" that afflicts
travelers who cross many time-zone boundaries may be
attributed to two distinct causes: the strain of travel per
se, and the strain of changing phase. Hackers who suddenly
find that they must change phase drastically in a short period
of time, particularly the hard way, experience something very
like jet lag without travelling.

[PJC] |
Phase rule
(gcide) | Phase rule \Phase rule\ (Phys. Chem.)
A generalization with regard to systems of chemical
equilibrium, discovered by Prof. J. Willard Gibbs. It may be
stated thus: The degree of variableness (number of degrees of
freedom) of a system is equal to the number of components
minus the number of phases, plus two. Thus, if the components
be salt and water, and the phases salt, ice, saturated
solution, and vapor, the system is invariant, that is, there
is only one set of conditions under which these four phases
can exist in equilibrium. If only three phases be considered,
the system is univariant, that is, the fixing of one
condition, as temperature, determines the others.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.] |
Phase splitter
(gcide) | Phase splitter \Phase splitter\ (Elec.)
A device by which a single-phase current is split into two or
more currents differing in phase. It is used in starting
single-phase induction motors.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.] |

The dephasing of the two parts of a single alternating
current in two dissimilar branches of a given circuit.
