My text says that in a plane sound wave (or in the far field), particle velocity and pressure is in phase. As we move closer to the sound source (to near field and more spherical waves), the phase angle between these two quantities will gradually shift towards 90˚.
Why does this phase shift occur? I haven't been able to find an intuitive explanation for why there is a phase shift in spherical waves, but not in plane waves, and vice versa.
