I received a couple more short questions about the last problem which I
thought everyone should know:
-In part b, I tell you to set gamma_1 to zero. Carry this through for the
entire calculation (from part b onward).
-In part e, I want you to calculate the integral and NOT use any fourier
transform tables (you can use them to check your answers). You may need
to look up a couple of integrals in tables and this is allowed for the
problem.
-In part f, just pick any arbitrary value of w_o for the graph and pick
different gamma's to see the shape of the plots. Do not worry if the
graphs carry over to negative frequencies or what the intensity is on the
y axis. It is the shape that I want you to look at for varying lifetime!!
