Momentum Shift tex2html_wrap_inline296 Fourier ``Transform space'' Displacement Theorem

Confirm that your results satisfy the general Fourier theorem on the displacement of functions:

Interpret this result physically in terms of the effect of this operation on the momentum distribution and on the oscillatory behavior of the packet in real space.

Hint: Again you should be able to do this without more integration.
