Homework Statement



I'm supposed to prove that:

\int_0^∞[STRIKE][/STRIKE]sin(ka)J0(kp)dk = (a2 - p2)1/2 if p < a
and = 0 if p > a

J0 being the first Bessel function.

The Attempt at a Solution



I've tried to inverse the order of integration and then make the integral form of the delta Dirac function appear, but I'm not sure how to do it, and so far my attemps have failed.

I also tried to put both sine and the bessel function as their series form, then transfom the infinite series into a limit of a finite series so I can interchange the sum and the integral, but it doesn't really leads me anywhere.

If anyone could give me some advise on how to resolve this, I would be grateful.

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
