Why I can say "The Fourier transform tells us " how much sinusoid" there is in the waveform at a given frequency "w""
Form Linear circuit analysis by Artice M. David
First start it this way, when you find the fourier series for a periodic signal is given as
F = A0 + ∑B0×sin(wt) + ∑B1×cos(wt)
You see that when you perform fourier transform of a periodic signal you get the spectral components in terms of a DC signal , a sin wave and a cosine wave.
So whatever may be the signal it can be decomposed into its spectral components which are only sin and cosine.
For example fourier transform of square waves gives only odd harmonics of sine wave. You can generate a square wave by adding all the odd harmonics of sine wave.
