Homework Statement
For the function ##V(f) = A \tau sinc(f \tau)## in the picture how do you conclude that the argument of ##V(f)## is 0º, +180º or -180º?
Homework Equations
##arg = arctan({\frac{Im}{Re}})##
The Attempt at a Solution
The upper graphic represents the absolute value of the function, right? I understand that being a sinc function the negative parts of the graphic should "jump" to the positive side. I also understand why the function return 0 on k/τ.
Is it correct to think, for example, between 1/τ and 2/τ the sinc function returns negative values but because it needs to shift to the positive values the fase should be negative so that negative times negative = positive?
I'm so sorry if this questions sounds too basic. I'm trying to learn by myself, I'm not attending any classes and I have no one to ask this kind of doubts.
Thanks in advance.
