Homework Statement


it's related with SHM.its a trivial question.and it's definitely got an ans.i need to do Fourier transformation for
e(iwt) e-(q**2/bk(2sin**2(wt)/2))dt.
btw the limits -inf to +inf.whereb=kt,k=boltzmannconst.w=(k/m)**.5(k here is spring const.)do Fourier transform and get it in terms of frequency


Homework Equations


that"s the only eqnbut can be modified to e-x*e-(x*coswt) where x=const.
("though some friends say it'll result in error function")

The Attempt at a Solution



e-(q**2/bk(2sin**2(wt)/2))
=e-(q**2/bk(1-coswt)) (taking q**2/bk=const.say x)
=e-(x(1-coswt))
=e-x*e-(x*coswt)

It's really hard to read the function you're trying to calculate the FT for. Are you saying that the function is

f(t) = \exp{\left(-\frac{q^2}{bk} \frac{2\sin^2(wt)}{2}\right)}

and you want to calculate the Fourier transform?

\hat{F}(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \exp{\left(-\frac{q^2}{bk} \frac{2\sin^2(wt)}{2}\right)} \exp{(-i \omega t)} dt

"yes".
the given eqn is
"e-(2q^2/bk(sin^2(wt/2)))

where b=kT,T=absolute temp,k=bolzmann const. and w=(k/m)^(1/2) t=time period.

the above fn. depends on time.i have to apply Fourier transform to convert it into "w" frequency.

the alternate method i came up with is by treating "q,b,w" as const. say"x"
and converting sin^2(wt/2) as "1-coswt"

so the final eqn became e-(x(1-coswt))
((e-x)(e(xcoswt))
other wise have to Fourier transform for this eqn.
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
