    The Fourier transform of an exponential function results in a Lorentzian function. Specifically, the Fourier transform of an exponential function e^(-at) is equal to a/(a^2+w^2), which is a Lorentzian function. The document shows the steps to derive this relationship between the exponential function and its Fourier transform.
