It's going to be positive in terms of its wave function or in terms of its phase anywhere where y is positive.

只要ｙ大于零它的波函数,或者说是相位为正。

Functional-imaging studies of the brain have revealed another tantalizing clue: During the aura phase, a wave of electrical activity sweeps over the outer, furrowed layer of the brain known as the cortex, at a pace of 2 to 3 millimeters per minute.

They discovered that by shifting the "phase" of light so that the peaks of one wave line up with the valleys of an adjacent one, the two cancel each other, creating "shadows" between waves that are smaller than the waves themselves(see diagram, p. 141).

They discovered that, by shifting the "phase" of light so that the peaks of one wave line up with the valleys of an adjacent wave, the two waves cancel each other out, creating "shadows" between waves that are smaller than the waves themselves(see chart).
