Question 4.
For the function 

\[ f(x) = \frac{1}{(2\pi\sigma^2)^{1/4}} \exp \left( -\frac{x^2}{4\sigma^2} \right) \]

answer the following:

(a) Show that the normalization \( f(x) \) is such that \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}|f(x)|^2 dx = 1\).

(b) The standard deviation of \( x \), defined by 

\[
\Delta x^2 = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x^2 |f(x)|^2 dx.
\]

Show that \(\Delta x = \sigma\). Extra hint: you can differentiate the main hint with respect to \(\alpha\) or \(k\).

(c) Determine \( g(k) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x) e^{-ikx} dx \).

(d) Show that \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} |g(k)|^2 dk = \frac{1}{2\pi}\), consistent with Parseval's theorem.

(e) The standard deviation of \( k \) is \(\Delta k\), defined by

\[
\Delta k^2 = 2\pi \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} k^2 |g(k)|^2 dk.
\]

Find \(\Delta k\). What is the product \(\Delta k \Delta x\)?

Hint: you may assume the following definite integral:

\[
\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \exp(-\alpha x^2) \exp(ikx) dx = \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{\alpha}} \exp\left(-\frac{k^2}{4\alpha}\right).
