Fourier Transform of a wave function

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on computing the Fourier transform of a given wave function, ψ(x), defined as Ne^{- |x|/a + ixp_o/hbar}. Participants express confusion over the correct application of the Fourier transform formula and the meaning of certain terms, such as "/hbar." One user reports an unsuccessful attempt at solving the integral, leading to an incorrect result involving e^∞. There is also clarification needed regarding the dependence of φ on variables and the proper interpretation of the Fourier integral. The conversation highlights the complexities of the problem and the need for clear definitions and steps in the solution process.

Homework Statement



\psi (x) = Ne^{ \frac{-|x|}{a}+ \frac{ixp_o}{/hbar}}

Compute Fourier transform defined by
##\phi (p) = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2 \pi \hbar}} \int \psi (x) e^{ \frac{-ipx} {\hbar}} dx##

to obtain ## \phi (x) ##

Homework Equations



Fourier transform = ##g(x)= \frac {1}{2 \pi} \int f(p) e^{ipx} dx ##

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried first solving the integral of ##\phi (p)##

and I got this hopeless answer of

## \frac{N(-a- \frac{i \hbar p - i \hbar p_o}{p_o p})} { \sqrt{2 \pi \hbar}}##

When I plugged that into the Fourier transform, my final answer wound up being some coefficients times ##e ^ \infty##

This problem has multiple steps and depends on me being able to figure out what the ## \phi (x) ## isHelp. I don't know what I'm doing wrong?

Why are you bringing up an (incorrect) formula for the Fourier transform when the problem has already defined it for you?

I can't figure out what the exponent of ψ(x) is however. What does " /hbar " mean?

Also, the Fourier integral integrates w/r/t x so phi will not be a function of x. So phi(x) is another mystery.
