expansion of exponential in terms of bessel function?

3.7k Views Asked by At

I saw somewhere contains below formula. $${e^{ikr\cos \left( \theta \right)}} = \sum\limits_n {{i^n}{J_n}\left( {kr} \right){e^{ - in\theta }}} $$ I don't know if it is right. Does anyone know how to prove it? Or point to some references on this kind of expansions using bessel function?
