The period of the cosine function is 2\u03c0, and the period of the sine function is \u03c0.<\/p>\n<p>The cosine and sine functions are also both amplitude-dependent. This means that the height of the function changes depending on the amplitude.

The phase angle of a function is the angle at which the function begins relative to the x-axis.
