What happens to the Fourier series representation if the period T of the function approaches infinity?
Question

What happens to the Fourier series representation if the period T of the function approaches infinity?

A.

Fourier series remains unchanged

B.

Fourier series becomes a Fourier transform

C.

Fourier series converts to a Laplace transform

D.

Fourier series diverges to infinity

Correct option is B

When the period T of a periodic function approaches infinity, the function effectively becomes aperiodic.

• In the Fourier series, frequency components are discrete, spaced by:

Δω=2πT\Delta \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}​​

• As T→∞, Δω→0

Thus, the discrete spectrum becomes continuous, and the Fourier series representation transitions into the Fourier transform.
