I have a homework question I am not sure how to approach:
We are told that
1) CMB provides about 10^9 photons/baryons.
2) For matter dominated era, assume flat university with H_o = 73km/s/Mpc
3) Stefan-Boltzman law for energy density: ρ_rad = αT^4 where α = 7.56x10^-15 ergs / cm^3 K^4
I read Marcus' explanation on
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=163941
but it is really difficult for me to understand as I am taking a 1st year AST course.
Any help will be appreciated, thx.
