Discovery (domestic use) Microwaves have wavelengths range from centimeters to those closer to a foot in length. Longer are for heating food. Shorter waves Doppler radar Microwaves were first utilized by British the 1940s during WWII. Sir John Randall and Dr. H. A. Boot, invented a device called a magnetron (Radar) using microwaves to detect Nazi warplanes. 1945, examining the magnetron, Percy Spencer’s candy bar melted Product was marketed, thank goodness Percy was a chocolate lover!

C osmic M icrowave B ackground (CMB) 1960's at scientists at Bell Laboratories detected background noise using a special “low noise” antenna. This static noise came from every direction and did not vary in intensity. The scientists soon realized they had discovered the cosmic microwave background radiation. “This radiation, which fills the entire Universe, is believed to be a clue to it's beginning, something known as the Big Bang.”

Big Bang Model Universe was once much smaller, hotter, and denser – Based off of Einstein’s theory of general relativity – Expansion of the universe – 1929 – Lightest elements Deuterium, helium, lithium – CMB oldwww.internet2.edu/apps/html/archives.html

What the CMB tells us about the Universe The geometry of the universe Whether the universe will expand or collapse How much matter there is in the universe Amount and nature of dark matter and energy Expansion rate of the universe Age of the universe The origins of galaxies and galaxy clusters

Origins of the CMB Universe cooled as expanded – became less dense – Density variations affected temp. of photons Dense regions = hot spots in CMB 300,000 years – cooled enough to form atoms – Photons traveled through – form relic radiation Gravitational collapse – 1 billion years – Created galaxies

Brief History and COBE “The cosmic microwave background radiation is a remnant of the Big Bang and the fluctuations are the imprint of density contrast in the early universe.” COBE ( November 18, ) Frequent observations were made over 6 mo. periods for 4 years. DIRBE ( Diffuse InfraRed Experiment ) FIRAS ( Far-InfaRed Absolute Spectrophotometer ) DMR ( Differential Microwave Radiometers ) DMR Receiver

Differential Microwave Radiometer Variations in intensity of the cosmic microwave background, show the post-Big Bang matter and energy distribution. Uniformity / Isotropic CMB (top) temperature of CMB Black body curve (middle) One hot and cold spot in the sky coming from our Solar System's motion through the galaxy. Density Ripples (bottom) Further contrast “with our local motion removed.” hot red stripe through the center marks the galactic plane and above and below are variations in microwaves of the CMB! COBE’s findings at different levels of contrast: K mK 18µK

What are Microwaves used for? Heating, transmitting information, remote sensing – Shorter microwaves used for remote sensing Doppler radar – Active remote sensing system Microwaves pierce through all cloud covering of earth – Satellite images
