•“Sea” of photons.
Photon Energy Density is proportional
to 1/R4. Note that the text has this WRONG. Photon
number density changes as 1/R3, but wavelengths stretch out. Anyway, proceeding…
•Recall the linearized perturbation equation
•
•
•Set y = ρx/ργ = R/R(teq) where there is an equilibrium time where the two densities are equal.
