Homework Statement
Hello!
I have a basic question about how to mathematically treat waves.
I've seen many times a guess of a wave of the form [itex]Ae^{iwt}[/itex]
My question is, how do I actually know what is the amplitude in t=t0? Do I take the real value only? The imaginary value only?
For example, here:
[itex]ψ(t)=A*(Heaviside(t+T)-Heaviside(t-T))*e^{-iwt}[/itex]
How do I know if the wave is an even or an odd function? And how do I know it's amplitude at t=3?
Thank you (:
