Important Questions from Fourier Series

  1. The Fourier series representation of a square wave is shown in the figure below. The fluctuations seen near $x = \pm 1$ are named after which one of the following scientists?

  2. The Fourier series expansion of the function $f(x) = |\cos(x)|$ in the interval $(-\pi, \pi)$ is $\alpha + \beta \left[ \frac{1}{3}\cos(2x) - \frac{1}{15}\cos(4x) + \dots \right]$. 

    The values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ respectively are ______.

  3. Periodic function $f(x)$ is given below. $$f(x) = \begin{cases} -1, & \text{when } -\pi < x < 0 \\ 1, & \text{when } 0 < x < \pi \end{cases} ; f(x + 2\pi) = f(x)$$ The CORRECT option representing the Fourier series expansion of $f(x)$ is:

  4. A time-limited waveform $g(x)$ is specified as follows: $$g(x) = \begin{cases} -k, & -\pi < x \le 0 \\ +k, & 0 < x \le \pi \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ A new waveform $f(x)$ is constructed from $g(x)$ as follows: $$f(x) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} g(x + 2\pi m), \quad \text{for all } x \in \mathbb{R}$$ The sum of the coefficients of the third harmonics of the sine and cosine terms in the trigonometric Fourier series expansion of $f(x)$ is $\frac{2}{3\pi}$. 

    What is the value of $k$?
