Lorentzian Function

A Lorentzian function describes a specific bell-shaped curve that appears in various scientific contexts, such as spectral lines and resonances. It characterizes how a system responds strongly at a particular central value (like a specific frequency) and then gradually decreases on either side. The shape is defined by a peak's height and its width, indicating how sharply or broadly the response occurs around that center. This function is useful for understanding phenomena where energy or signals are concentrated around a central point but spread out over a range, with the highest intensity at the center.
