If you have two waves oscillating with the dame frequency, they can either be in phase or out of phase.

If their crests and troughs line up together, they’re in phase. If the crests of one line up with the troughs of another, they are 180° out of phase. Anything in between is still out of phase, but by a different amount. 3 phase power for example has 3 different waves of AC power, but all 120° out of phase with each other. If you have the equation of two waves, the difference of their phase shift constants would be how far out of phase they are
