Question

Let f(t) be an even function i.e. f(-t) = f(t) for all t. Let the Fourier transform of f(t) be defined as F ( ω ) = f ( t ) e j ω t d t . Suppose d F ( ω ) d ω = ω F ( ω ) for all ω, and F(0) = 1. Then

Options :

  1. f(0)<1

  2. f(0)>1

  3. f(0)=1

  4. f(0)=0

Show Answer

Answer :

f(0)<1

Solution :

Given function is even,

d F ( ω ) d ω = ω F ( ω ) .... (1)

From differentiation property,

t f ( t ) = j d F ( ω ) d ω

Applying IFT to the above equation,

j t f ( t ) = j d f ( t ) d f

d f ( t ) d t = t f ( t ) .... (2)

From equation (1) and (2) it is clear that the f (t) is the change of Gaussian function, it can be written as,

f ( t ) = 1 2 π e t 2 2 .... (3)

From equation (3),

1 2 π e t 2 2 e ω 2 2

f ( t ) = 1 2 π e t 2 2

f ( 0 ) = 1 2 π

f ( 0 ) = 0.3989

f ( 0 ) < 1
