the following multiples of sin(x) are all normalized: sin(x)/ π , (for α = 0), − sin(x)/ π , (for
√
α = π ), and i sin(x)/ π , (for α = π/2).
Answer: A multiple of sin(x) means c sin(x), where c is some complex constant, so the
magnitude is
2π c sin(x)|c sin(x) = ||c sin(x)|| = 0 (c sin(x))∗ (c sin(x)) dx You can always write c as |c|eiα where α is some real angle, and then you get for the norm:
||c sin(x)|| = 2π
0 (|c|e−iα sin(x)) (|c|eiα sin(x)) dx = 2π
0 √
|c|2 sin2 (x) dx = |c| π √
So for the multiple to be normalized, the magnitude of c must be |c| = 1/ π , but the angle
α can be arbitrary. 2.3.7 Solution dot-g Question: Show that the functions e4iπx and e6iπx are an orthonormal set on the interval
0 ≤ x ≤ 1.
Answer: You need to show that both functions are normalized, e4iπx = 1 and e6iπx = 1,
and that they are mutually orthogonal, e4iπx |e6iπx = 0. Work each out in turn (don’t forget
to take complex conjugate of the first function in the inner products):
||e4iπx || = e4iπx |e4iπx = ||e6iπx || = e6iπx |e6iπx = e4iπx |e6iπx = 1
