1. Use the general definition and properties of Fourier transforms to show the
following.
(a)If f(x) is periodic with period a then 𝑓̃(𝑘) = 0, unless ka = 2πn for integer
n.
(b) The Fourier transform of tf(t) is i𝑑𝑓̃(𝑤)/dω.
(c) The Fourier transform of f (mt + c) is

2. Solve Poisson’s equation, ∇2 (𝑟) = −𝝆(𝒓)/𝞮𝟎 by the following sequence of

operations:
(a) Take the Fourier transform of both sides of this equation. Solve for the
Fourier transform of Ψ(r)
(b) Carry out the Fourier inverse transform.

3. Given f(x)=1-|x/2| for -2 ≤ x ≤ 2, with f(x)= 0 elsewhere, show that the

(b) Using the Parseval relation, evaluate

4. With F(t) and G(t) the Fourier transforms of f(x) and g(x), respectively, show
that

If g(x) is an approximation to f(x), the preceding relation indicates that the

mean square deviation in t-space is equal to the mean square deviation in x-
space.

its response function. The Fourier transform of the response function for a
particular amplifier is
