If $$sL\left[ {f\left( t \right)} \right] = {\omega \over {\left( {{s^2} + {\omega ^2}} \right)}},$$ then the value of $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to \infty } f\left( t \right)$$

Cannot be determined
Is zero
Is unity
Is infinite

The correct answer is $\boxed{\text{A. Cannot be determined}}$.

The Laplace transform of a function $f(t)$ is defined as

$$L[f(t)] = \int_0^\infty f(t) e^{-st} dt$$

The Laplace transform of a constant function is $1$. Therefore, if $sL[f(t)] = \frac{\omega}{\left(s^2 + \omega^2\right)}$, then

$$\int_0^\infty f(t) e^{-st} dt = \frac{\omega}{\left(s^2 + \omega^2\right)}$$

This equation can be solved for $f(t)$ in terms of the inverse Laplace transform, which is defined as

$$f(t) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{c-i\infty}^{c+i\infty} L[f(t)] e^{st} ds$$

where $c$ is a real number greater than any of the poles of $L[f(t)]$.

In this case, the poles of $L[f(t)]$ are at $s = \pm i\omega$. Therefore, the inverse Laplace transform is

$$f(t) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{-i\omega}^{i\omega} \frac{\omega}{\left(s^2 + \omega^2\right)} e^{st} ds$$

This integral cannot be evaluated in closed form. Therefore, the value of $f(t)$ cannot be determined.
