OK, I live in a very cold environment (freespace) ...


No need for any esoteric stuff. A traveling wave changes one degree
every 1/360 of a cycle. That's just very elementary physics. If the
wavelength is 360 inches, a traveling wave changes one degree per
inch.

What a disappointing non-answer, Cecil. I thought you said you can
calculate the phase change in a particular situation, and were willing
to do it. Is the description of the system lacking in some way?
