Momentum Components in the XY Plane Based on Angle Phi

Checking on the sign from the cosine results for [math]\phi '_2[/math]


We have the limiting range that [math]\phi[/math] must fall within:

[math]-\pi \le \phi '_2 \le \pi\ Radians[/math]

Examining the signs of the components which make up the angle [math]\phi[/math] in the 4 quadrants which make up the xy plane:

[math]For\ 0 \ge \phi '_2 \ge \frac{-\pi}{2}\ Radians[/math]
px=POSITIVE
py=NEGATIVE
[math]For\ 0 \le \phi '_2 \le \frac{\pi}{2}\ Radians[/math]
px=POSITIVE
py=POSITIVE
[math]For\ \frac{-\pi}{2} \ge \phi '_2 \ge -\pi\ Radians[/math]
px=NEGATIVE
py=NEGATIVE
[math]For\ \frac{\pi}{2} \le \phi '_2 \le \pi\ Radians[/math]
px=NEGATIVE
py=POSITIVE
