Title: A microwave telescope “sees” microwave light coming from all directions in the sky… Post by: Charlie Lem on Mar 12, 2022 A microwave telescope “sees” microwave light coming from all directions in the sky. This microwave signal is fairly strong, accounting for about 1% of the “noise” detected by a television antenna set “off channel.” A plot of the relativity intensity the microwave emission vs. wavelength is shown below.
1) From Wien’s law and the wavelength at which the microwave emission is brightest, estimate the temperature of the source of the microwave emission.
