Question
Two simple harmonic motions, as shown below, are at right angles. They are combined to form Lissajous figures.
x(t) = A sin (at + $\delta $)
y(t) = B sin (bt)

Identify the correct match below.
Parameters   A $ \ne $ B, a = b; $\delta $ = 0;
Curve    Parabola
Parameters    A = B, a = b; $\delta $ = $${\raise0.5ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle \pi $} \kern-0.1em/\kern-0.15em \lower0.25ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 2$}}$$
Curve    Line
Parameters    A $ \ne $ B, a = b; $\delta $ = $${\raise0.5ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle \pi $} \kern-0.1em/\kern-0.15em \lower0.25ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 2$}}$$
Curve    Ellipse
Parameters    A = B, a = 2b; $\delta $ = $${\raise0.5ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle \pi $} \kern-0.1em/\kern-0.15em \lower0.25ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 2$}}$$
Curve    Circle
