When using Lissajous figures to determine phase differences, an indication of zero or 180 degrees is represented on the screen of an oscilloscope by:
- Aa circle
- Ba diagonal straight line
- Ca horizontal straight line
- Dan ellipse
Correct answer: B — a diagonal straight line. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
When two signals are exactly in step or exactly opposite, they rise and fall together on the oscilloscope screen, tracing a single path that slants across the display. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
