Fourier transform of a lorentzian function

Click For Summary
The Fourier transform of a Lorentzian function results in a decaying oscillation, not another Lorentzian. In contrast, the Fourier transform of a Gaussian function remains a Gaussian. The discussion raises a question about whether the Fourier transform of the second derivative of a Lorentzian function also yields a second derivative of a Lorentzian. Participants suggest exploring theorems related to the Fourier transform of derivatives for further insights. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing the behavior of these functions in frequency space.

hi

I know the Fourier transform of a lorentzian function is a lorentzian but i was wondering if the Fourier transform of the second derivation of a lorentzian function is also a second derivative of a lorentzian function

Thanks

The Fourier transform of a Lorentzian isn't a Lorentzian (its a decaying oscillation)

The Fourier transform of a Gaussian is a Gaussian, which is I guess what you mean?

Do you know any theorems about the Fourier transform of a derivative to help answer your other question?
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
