Perhaps I'm missing a point or going off on a tangent here, but is a
single
cycle sinusoidal pulse really a pure sine wave? The voltage is constant
at
zero up to the start of the pulse and returns to stay at zero at its
termination. There's (ideally, of course) a discontinuity at each
point.
These should generate an infinite number of harmonics--uh--shouldn't
they?
Your students are lucky to have you as a teacher.
