The Gaussian distribution also known as the Normal distribution, is given by the following
equation:
π¦(π₯) = ππ₯π β(π₯βπ)^2/2π^2
where parameter π is the mean and π the standard deviation.
(i) create a 1000 point Gaussian distribution of random numbers
having π = 0 and π = 1. (20)
(ii) Plot this distribution. (10)
(iii) Prove that the full widthβhalf maximum (FWHM), of the above distribution is given by :
FWHM = 2πβ2ln 2 (10)
(iv) Write a program that estimates the FWHM from your data/graph. (10)
(v) Compare the theoretical and the experimental results of FWHM. (5)
(vi) What are the theoretical and experimental values of π at FWHM?
