(b) Assume a blackbody radiator, whose walls consist of many little atomic oscillators that cover the entire spectral range of interest. (i) Calculate by which factor the total energy density emitted by this blackbody radiator changes when you increase its temperature from T = 3 K (the temperature of background radiation of the universe) to T = 300 K (room temperature). (ii) Calculate the wavelength of maximum emission for the two cases. Can you see light at these two wavelengths?
