In the textbook Modern Methods in Analytical Acoustics (Crighton-1992, Amazon link to 2013 edition) the following relates the 3D Green's function in the time-domain to the frequency domain g(x−y): g(x−y)=−c24πcr∫∞−∞δ(r−ct)eiωtdt,r=|x−y|=−14πreik0t,
I cannot see how the integration has eliminated the variable c. To me the integration should leave eik0r where k0=ω/c and then the answer should be g(x−y)=−c4πreik0r
Is the text wrong? And if so, then how do I derive the correct expression for g(x−y)?
Note: the −c2 factor is used to relate the Green's function G(x,y,t)=δ(r−ct)4πcr for the equation (∂2∂t2−c2∇2)G(x,y,t)=δ|x−y|
Answer
In Mathematica:
Refine[-(c^2/(4 π c r)) Integrate[
DiracDelta[r - c t] Exp[I ω t], {t, -∞, ∞}],
Assumptions -> {r ∈ Reals, c > 0}]
The output is
−eirωc4πr=−eirk04πr
