     25we see that [[latex($\omega$)]] is imaginary. This implies that there is an exponential growth or decay factor multiplying the oscillatory [[latex($e^{i(\vec{k}\cdot \vec{x})}$)]] in the solution for [[latex($\rho_1$)]]. That is,
     26
     27[[latex($\rho_1 = e^{i(\vec{k} \cdot \vec{x})} e^{-i(^+_- i \omega t)} =$)]]
     28
     29[[latex($ e^{i(\vec{k} \cdot \vec{x})} e^{^+_-  \omega t}$)]]
     30
     31Taking the real part, we have:
     32
     33[[latex($\rho_1 = \cos(kx)e^{\omega t}$)]]
     34
     35Now, we can rewrite [[latex($\omega$)]] into a more intuitive form.
