I made science magic

The Thunder Wizards no longer paid attention to the nonsense in the newspapers, and went back to organize their notes, preparing to publish part of their research in the next two days to provoke Jeffrey to death!

At the same time, the wave theory of light also spread throughout the magic kingdom with the publication of the "Magic Daily"!

Although there have been dozens of new newspapers in the kingdom in recent years, and Magic Daily no longer has its previous monopoly position, as the mouthpiece of Parliament and an officially recognized authoritative newspaper, its influence cannot be underestimated.

Almost every serious wizard who is keen on magic will regularly purchase a copy of the [Magic Daily], because it often records some novel and interesting magic papers, as well as the cutting-edge achievements of current magic theories.

As soon as Jeffrey's theory of light wave theory was put forward, it attracted the attention of many wizards.

Because this theory is very complete, Jeffrey used the operating principles of water waves and sound waves to explain in simple terms how light is transmitted in the form of waves, and used this to explain the interference and diffraction phenomena of light.

What is even more convincing is that this paper directly gives a detailed experimental demonstration method, which only requires a baffle with two holes poked in it and a light beam emitting device, which is very simple.

Even wizards who don't know thunder and light magic can make a few convex and concave lenses and use focused sunlight to complete this experiment.

For this kind of experiment that can be completed with just a little effort, there are naturally countless wizards who have personally tried it out.

According to the magic star, practice is also the only criterion for testing truth!

Theories spoken by others are naturally not as reliable as those obtained through personal experimentation.

It was this simple experiment that made Jeffrey's wave theory famous!

Because they are so similar, after the light passes through the two slits, the interference fringes that emerge are indeed exactly the same as the positions of the crests and troughs produced by the water waves!

Could it be that light is really a wave?

This question has emerged in the minds of more and more wizards. In the past, the understanding of light was completely based on various conjectures. Even the legendary Speaker could not sense the existence of this thing. It was not until Lin En, the Star of Magic, conducted an experiment to measure the speed of light that the mystery was unveiled.

Just when the wizards of the kingdom were gradually accepting this statement, on the evening of the third day, the photoelectric effect and light particle theory jointly published by Anthony and others came out of nowhere, which was jaw-dropping!

Light is actually electricity, and electricity is actually light?

According to the explanations of these thunder wizards, light is a high-speed, extremely fine particle stream, and electrons are composed of these light particles, so the propagation speeds of the two are highly consistent.

The reason why electricity emits light is that when lightning is stimulated, it begins to radiate its "energy" outward in the form of light, just like radioactive elements.

This is undoubtedly completely contrary to the wave theory proposed by Jeffrey, but Anthony and others also provided strong evidence - they successfully created a photoelectric conversion device!

The material used is silicon!

As long as the silicon plate is illuminated with light of sufficient intensity, it can generate a steady stream of electric current.

This theory perfectly explains how laser magic works.

If light is fragmented electricity, then when a large amount of light is injected into the electrons outside the nucleus, its energy will surge, causing it to jump to a higher orbit, and then directly emit the excess energy in the form of light!

A group of thunder wizards also gave the light element a new name, called photonics!

It was even stated in Magic Daily that the technology of internal combustion engines and generators is already outdated, so why go through so much trouble? In the future, it would be perfect to put a huge silicon plate in the sky above every city and use the almost endless sunlight in the sky to generate electricity directly.

After giving a lengthy explanation of the photoelectric effect, Anthony also personally wrote a considerable amount of space to refute Jeffrey's wave theory.

What is a wave? It is the process of vibration propagation in a certain medium. For example, if you throw a stone into the water, it will directly displace the water surface. Then the water molecules in front will push away the water molecules behind, and the force will be transmitted in this way.

This means that the transmission of waves must have a medium, whether it is sound waves or water waves, but light is different. It can be transmitted in a vacuum where there is nothing.

So the wave theory of light is complete nonsense!

"What bullshit optoelectronics!" Jeffrey's face suddenly darkened after he got the new issue of [Magic Daily].

Just two days after his wave theory was published, Anthony and others came up with some photon theory to undermine it. In his opinion, this was purely out of jealousy and malicious academic suppression!

After all, he alone led a dozen apprentices to complete the research on the nature of light, so it is normal to arouse jealousy and hatred!

However, out of caution, Jeffrey still asked his apprentices to repeat the photoelectric experiment recorded in the [Magic Daily].

After struggling for more than an hour, several apprentices reported cautiously.

"Teacher, we have tried it, and it seems that light can really generate electricity... Whether it is multi-color light or monochromatic light, as long as the intensity is high enough, it can generate electric current."

Jeffrey couldn't help but froze in shock, his brows furrowed.

Could it be that light is really electricity?

Ever since the galaxy orbital element model of the magic star was proposed, the existence of electrons has been confirmed. They move in circles around the nucleus like planets orbiting a star.

If light is electricity, then it should be a particle rather than a wave...

Jeffrey's mind wavered for a moment, but he quickly reaffirmed his thoughts.

The wave theory is absolutely an indisputable truth. After all, the experimental results are there!

No matter you are a wizard or not, or whether you are proficient in electricity and optics, you can perfectly replicate this experiment as long as you build a laboratory bench!

As for the so-called photoelectric effect, Jeffrey felt that it might be just the normal phenomenon of mutual conversion of photoelectric energy!

Rather than saying it is photovoltaic power generation, it is more accurate to say that the silicon panel is generating electricity!

Wood can burn and make fire. Does that mean wood is fire?

Thinking of this, Jeffrey asked a wizard from the school to invite several great wizards who were friends with him and who were staying in the City of Kerosene.

Now his wave theory has been maliciously suppressed by jealous people. It is difficult for him to maintain the authority of the wave theory alone, and he needs more people to stand up for him.

About three days later, Jeffrey, together with several great wizards, published new research results on wave theory and applied corresponding patches.

The vacuum field created with their existing capabilities is not completely empty. It is possible that there are some subtle elements that they have not discovered yet, or that space itself is the medium of light!

For example, the disturbance caused by force field magic uses space as the medium!

In addition, in response, Jeffrey also wrote a whole page to refute Anthony's particle theory - if light is a more fragmented electron, then a large amount of light gathered together will definitely produce a magnetic field!

The results were tested in a vacuum test field he had set up in collaboration with several great wizards, and it was found that the concentrated light beams did not produce the expected magnetic field phenomenon at all.

As soon as these words were spoken, they dealt a heavy blow to the photoelectric effect proposed by Anthony...

After all, electricity generates magnetism and magnetism generates electricity, which is the underlying logic that every thunder wizard knows!

Public opinion in the kingdom reversed again, and more and more people began to believe in Jeffrey's wave theory again, because the results of the experiment were there and could not be faked.

"What should we do now, teacher..." After reading the new issue of [Magic Daily], Fulla was a little panicked, especially after she did some emergency experiments and confirmed that the concentrated light beams could not generate a surrounding magnetic field, she became even more panicked.

Anthony paced back and forth in the laboratory, wondering what was wrong with his photoelectric effect and why the light beam could not generate a surrounding magnetic field.

"Could it be that the energy of a single light particle is not enough to generate a magnetic field?" Sanchez said thoughtfully. "It is also possible that the magnetic field generated is too weak for us to perceive."

"It's possible!" Anthony nodded. In short, more experiments are needed to prove this.

After Jeffrey's criticism, everyone was very motivated and tried to find any evidence in favor of particle theory!

After several days of painstaking research, Anthony did not find the magnetic field effect of the light beam, but he released another killer weapon. They developed a particle theory to explain the light diffraction phenomenon!

According to their conjecture, electricity is composed of a large number of photoelectrons. The moment electricity is stimulated, it explodes like a bomb, blasting all the light particles inside in all directions.

It's just that the number of these divergent light particles is too large and too dense, so a wave-like phenomenon occurs.

Furthermore, these light particle clusters that contain sufficient energy may explode and spread again, for example, if they encounter a gap that they cannot pass through...

This pseudo 'wave' nature will not disappear until it becomes a single particle state.

As for this distance... Thunder wizards believe that the distance from when the electricity begins to diverge to when it becomes dilute into individual light particles may be 100 million kilometers, or it may be more than 1 billion kilometers. After all, the speed of light is so fast, it will take at least a few minutes for it to stop, right?

Jeffrey was almost angry to death when he saw the newspaper.

One hundred million kilometers? Wouldn't that mean he would have to circle the Eternal Star 2,500 times? Where could he find such a large test site?

The other party clearly wanted to prevent him from using experiments to refute the particle theory. Even if he found a way to solve the distance problem, Anthony and others could say that the data they measured was not accurate enough.

Jeffrey's anger continued to rise. He immediately gave up sleep and experiment, and got up from the bed. He spent the whole night writing tens of thousands of words, angrily denouncing this theory as a complete fantasy without any factual basis!

The war of words between the two sides has been going on for more than a month. Not only has it not stopped, but it has become more and more intense. From the beginning of replying every three to seven days and refuting the other party's theories with rigorous experiments, it has now become a simple rebuttal and verbal abuse.

As the editor of Magic Daily, Luo Er was so happy that he almost laughed like crazy. The various tabloids started to take sides and criticize each other without any bottom line. The sales of newspapers were rising rapidly every day...

Chapter 504: The First Magic Crisis, the Collapse of Photoelectric Theory

[The world is a wave, a conclusion about the propagation of light in a vacuum.], [Shocked, the latest explanation of the light diffraction phenomenon, the wave theory is nothing but the nonsense of a clown!], [The biggest omission in particle theory is this, optics is already in danger!]...

In the Optical Magic Laboratory in the City of Kerosene, Glenn slowly put down the newspaper template in his hand and couldn't help but complain. "Luo Er, you are really stupid. There is already enough noise outside. Is it really okay for you to send these things out?"

"Of course no problem. Look, it's only been a month and a half, and we have received more optical papers than in the previous year!" Luo replied with a smile, and then continued with a helpless look on his face.

"Besides, I can't afford to offend either Master Anthony or Master Jeffrey. I'll just post whatever they write!"

Luo Er said that at most he was only responsible for coming up with an eye-catching title and doing some minor polishing!

Glenn was speechless, but he had to admit that competition was indeed the biggest motivation for magic research.

These days, wizards who support particle and wave theories have conducted extremely detailed research on the various properties of light and have put forward a large number of conjectures.

Some conjectures are completely fantastic and illogical, but there are also many theories that have experimental evidence to support them. As long as these arguments are confirmed, they can get a Morning Star or even a Silver Moon Medal.

Seeing that Green had fully understood his difficulties, Roll took the template from his hand with a smile, handed it to his assistant beside him, and asked him to speed up the printing.

Yesterday they printed 900,000 copies of newspapers and distributed them to all the cities under the kingdom's rule and the newly occupied cities. However, they were sold out within a few hours. This shows that they are not printing fast enough!

"By the way, Glenn, I heard that Master Sanchez, one of the founders of the photoelectric theory, visited you in person last night. Is that true?" Roll suddenly asked curiously, his hand unconsciously picking up the pen, as if he was ready to record at any time.

It's easy to tell that Master Sanchez must be trying to win over Glenn, the famous developer of focusing magic.

If you agree, it will definitely be a big explosion!

Although Glenn is only a three-ring wizard, he came up with the shocking plan of measuring the speed of light with a thousand-faceted mirror at the last academic seminar, and accidentally created the focusing magic, which won the appreciation of the Magic Star and the Speakers. His potential influence is no less than that of a great wizard.

When Roll asked this, Glenn couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, it was not just Sanchez. Several wizards who advocated the light wave theory also came to him and explained to him in detail the superiority of the wave theory, but he did not respond to either side.

Firstly, they did not want to be involved in this dispute, and secondly, both theories had unexplained optical phenomena.

For example, the light wave theory explains the effects of light dispersion, diffraction, interference, and superposition very well, but it is very weak in explaining the photoelectric effect and pinhole imaging.

As for the theory of electric element explosion that was created by wizards who believed in particle theory to explain the diffraction phenomenon, Glenn felt that it was not reliable at all. It was like a theory that was forced together to explain the phenomenon without any actual experimental evidence.

Before figuring it out, Glenn thought it would be better not to take sides arbitrarily, so as to avoid a setback in the end.

Rawl, who wanted to make a big news, had to put away the paper and pen in disappointment and asked about the progress of lighting photography technology instead.

This is an optical phenomenon discovered by Glenn a year ago. When a plate with a small hole is placed between the wall and the object, an inverted real image of the object will be formed on the wall.

Glenn was very sure that he was not the first person to discover this phenomenon, but he was definitely the first wizard to use it!

There was an oil field not far from the Kerosene City, and while on duty he accidentally found a type of asphalt there that was extremely sensitive to light.

This asphalt will harden when exposed to light, and the degree of hardening will vary depending on the intensity of light. Using this characteristic and combining it with the principle of pinhole imaging, he successfully produced the first generation of light cameras.
