c
For R=0, cs​=1/3​. If the Newtonian potentials are constant and equal, the equation in part (b) becomes
Θ0′′​+cs2​k2Θ0​=−cs2​k2Ψ.
(1)
The Sachs-Wolfe combination D=Θ0​+Ψ therefore obeys
D′′+cs2​k2D=0.
(2)
Adiabatic initial conditions have vanishing initial fluid velocity, hence D′(0)=0. With the sound horizon rs​(η)=∫0η​cs​,dη′, the solution is
Θ0​+Ψ=(Θ0​+Ψ)ini​cos(krs​)​.
(3)
Solved by gpt-5.6-sol high.
