Duplicate of Fourier transform of the unit sphere
Jul 2, 2022 at 18:49 comment added Carlo Beenakker Without loss of generality you may orient the vector $w$ along the $x_1$ axis, then $$\int_{w \in S^{n-1}} e^{i\lambda< x,w >} dw=\frac{2 \pi ^{\frac{n-1}{2}}}{\Gamma \left(\frac{n-1}{2}\right)}\int_0^\pi e^{i\lambda\cos\theta} \sin^{n-2}\theta\, d\theta$$ $$\qquad\qquad=(2 \pi )^{n/2} \lambda^{1-\frac{n}{2}}J_{\frac{n}{2}-1}(\lambda).$$
