Lissajous figure [ˈliːsəˌʒuː ˌliːsəˈʒuː]

(Physics / General Physics) a curve traced out by a point that undergoes two simple harmonic motions in mutually perpendicular directions. The shape of these curves is characteristic of the relative phases and frequencies of the motion; they are used to determine the frequencies and phases of alternating voltages

[named after Jules A. Lissajous (1822-80), French physicist]
