I am not entirely sure about the wavelength; however, the features of the background radiation agree very closely to what would be expected from the Big Bang theory.

Why did the discovery of cosmic background radiation with a wavelength of 7.35 cm help to support the big bang theory of the universe?
The radiation was 100 times more than expected and they were certain it did not come from our galaxy. They reasoned that the Big Bang had released a tremendous blast of radiation and scattered the matter that condensed into galaxies.
Which theory of the universe did the 1964 discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation support?
I didn't check the year... But the cosmic background radiation is said to support the big bang theory, because it agrees with the radiation that is expected from an expanding Universe.
Why is radiation with shortest wavelength the most powerful?
In our Universe, EM radiation can only come in discrete chunks called "photons." The energy of each individual photon depends on the frequency of the EM radiation. Frequency depends on wavelength (or vice-versa): the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency. Thus, short wavelength photons have more energy. That's just how our Universe operates, whether or not we like it.
The Doppler shifting of radiation from the early universe has resulted in today's universe being bathed in a sea of?
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Radiation.
What does the uniformity of cosmic radiation imply about its source?
The source of cosmic background radiation filled the entire universe.

What did the discovery of background radiation distributed evenly throughout the universe provide support for?
either starlight spectra or moving galaxies.

The heat left over from the beginning of the universe is?
cosmic microwave background radiation.
Why did the discovery of cosmic background radiation with a microwave wavelength support the big bang theory of the universe?
Big Bang Cosmology predicted the existence, isotropy, and spectrum of the CBR; all other hypotheses have no explanation for it. When one idea perfectly explains an undeniable fact of our Universe, and another utterly fails to do so; scientists tend to prefer the former idea.

How did cosmic background radiation relate to the formation of the universe?
I sent a form of thermal energy throughout the universe.
Where did the cosimc microwave background radiation take place?
Where? Everywhere. This is the residual radiation, from when the Universe was very, very hot.
How the universe is changing by cosmic background?
The cosmic background radiation is an observation of the effects of the Big bang [See related question] it does not effect the Universe changing in anyway.
How ia cosmic background radiation related to the big bang theory?
The cosmic background radiation is believed to be the remains of the radiation emitted by the Universe when it started to get transparent - when it had cooled down to a temperature of about 3000 kelvin.
