Temperatures in the Early Universe. Access the Active Integrated Media Module “Black Body Curves” in the Discovering the Universe Web site. a. Use the module to determine by trial-and-error the temperature at which a blackbody spectrum has its peak at a wavelength of 1m. b. At the time when the temperature of the cosmic background radiation was equal to the value you found in (a), was the universe matter-dominated or radiation-dominated? Explain your answer. Hint: Figure 18-8 might help.
