Relationship among frequency, phase shift (in degree) and time period:

• The wave (electromagnetic wave carried by photon - gauge boson) starts at the 0-degree phase (0 radians) and has no amplitude.

• The wave reaches positive peak amplitude at the 90-degree phase (0.5π radians).

• The wave returns to its amplitude rest position at the 180-degree phase (π radians).

• The wave reaches negative peak amplitude at the 270-degree phase (1.5π radians)

• Finally, the wave reaches zero peak amplitude at the 360-degree phase (2π radians).

Frequency (f) is inversely proportional to the period of its oscillation i.e. f=1/T.

A complete cycle of wave (i.e. f=1Hz) consists of 360° of phase.

=> 1° phase shift = T/360.

=> 90° phase shift = 90T/360.

=> 180° phase shift = 180T/360.

=> 270° phase shift = 270T/360.

=> 360° phase shift = T (=360T/360)

This means a complete cycle of wave (f= 1 Hz) has 360° of its phase.

Time period (T) of a cycle (with 360° phase) of wave, when it's frequency f=1 Hz.

And therefore, 360° phase = T (period of the wave).
