 Trigonometric function
The sine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse.
They are periodic functions with characteristic wave patterns as graphs, useful for modelling recurring phenomena such as sound or light waves.
Every signal can be written as a (typically infinite) sum of sine and cosine functions of different frequencies; this is the basic idea of Fourier analysis, where trigonometric series are used to solve a variety of boundary-value problems in partial differential equations.

When the motion of a traveling wave is discussed, it is customary to refer to a point of large maximum displacement as a crest and a point of large negative displacement as a trough.
Recall that a standing wave is not actually a wave but rather a pattern which results from the interference of two or more waves; since a standing wave is not technically a wave, then an antinode is not technically a point on a wave.
A standing wave pattern is not actually a wave; rather it is the pattern resulting from the presence of two waves (sometimes more) of the same frequency with different directions of travel within the same medium.

 Triangle wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, the higher harmonics roll off much faster than in a square wave (proportional to the inverse square of the harmonic number as opposed to just the inverse), and so its sound is smoother than a square wave and is nearer to that of a sine wave.
It is possible to approximate a triangle wave with additive synthesis by adding odd harmonics of the fundamental, multiplying every (4n−1)th harmonic by −1 (or changing its phase byπ), and rolling off the harmonics by the inverse square of their relative frequency to the fundamental.
A triangle wave is a basic kind of non-sinusoidal waveform named for its triangular shape.

The resulting curve is the sine wave, which plots the height of a point moving around the unit circle as a function of time.

 Sine Wave (Simulink Reference)
Using the Sine Wave block in this way allows you to build models with sine wave sources that are purely discrete, rather than models that are hybrid continuous/discrete systems.
If selected, column or row matrix values for the Sine Wave block's numeric parameters result in a vector output signal; otherwise, the block outputs a signal of the same dimensionality as the parameters.
Thus, if the accuracy of your model requires that the output of conditionally executed Sine Wave blocks remain in sync with the rest of the model, you should use time-based mode for computing the output of the conditionally executed blocks.
