Hi, Tom,
When measuring phase shift in degrees, it is relative to a given
frequency. So, a 180 degree phase shift at 1 kHz would be the same time
delay as a 360 degree phase shift at 2 kHz.
A polarity reversal is independent of frequency/wavelength. When it used
to go up, it now goes down and vice versa. It is also a binary function:
in or out of polarity.
I think 99% of the time when we say 180 ° phase shift, we mean polarity
flip as we want it at all frequencies to be the same.
Cheers,
Richard
