Basically, it IS a curve.
The sine curve is exactly the same as the cosine curve shifted pi/2 radians to the left
Cosine
The angle.
'Sin & 'Cos' are just shorthand forms of 'Sine' and' Cosine'. 'Sine; is from Latin and means 'curve'. 'Cosine' means **co**mplementary Sine/Curve.
Sound waves are transmitted through a medium as variations in the pressure of the medium. If the variation is plotted as a function of distance (or time), they will generate a sine curve (the cosine curve is the same as a sine curve with a phase shift). In practise, the sine curve is damped: the amplitude (or height) of the oscillations gradually decrease over time or distance, because of attenuation.

Cosine
The angle.
In physics, a sine curve is used to represent periodic phenomena such as simple harmonic motion or alternating current. It shows how a quantity varies sinusoidally with time or distance. The amplitude, frequency, and phase of the sine curve provide important information about the behavior of the system being studied.

The sine wave is also called a sinusoid is a mathematical curve that describes the smooth repetitive oscillation.
One way is to shift it to the left by a quarter of the period.
The curve is shifted to the right by c.
a normal sine curve exists with the formula Asin(Bx+C)+D. The formula to derive a phase shift would be such: 2pi/B (for whatever value B exists at). Thus, for a normal sine curve (sin(x) we would get 2pi/1, and arrive at 2pi for the period.
Sine curve
Sin(Sine) is a cyclic curve. This cyclic curve(wave) that repeats every 360 degrees ( or 2pi radian). Its Amplitude ranges from (+)1 to (-)1 When learning about trigonometry(Trig.) you only learn the bit between 0 degrees and 90 degrees. On extending this learning you will find it to be a cyclic curve. The word 'Sine'(Sin) is from Latin and means 'curve'. The word 'Cosine(Cos) means 'complimentary sine' . It is the same curve as Sine but shifted along the x-axis by 90 degrees.
