Chapter 502 The photoelectric effect and the world fluctuate!

After Jeffrey spoke, the apprentices immediately got busy.

With the help of magic, it is easy to make simple improvements to the baffle, and it can be completed in just a few minutes.

The baffle changed from one hole to two holes, and its shape changed from circular to square.

When the intense beam of light flew out from the transmitter and penetrated two extremely small gaps, everyone present showed a look of astonishment on their faces.

Because nine relatively clear rectangular light spots appeared on the black wall behind the hole. The light spot in the middle was the brightest, and the brightness of the light spots on both sides decreased in sequence.

"Why are there so many light spots?"

The apprentice who made the suggestion was immediately stunned. If light really travels in a straight line, then after a beam of light passes through two holes at the same time, there should only be two corresponding shapes on the wall.

The light spots and stripes are the same as the holes.

Even if the light is refracted after hitting the object, such a strange phenomenon should not occur - not to mention that the brightest light spot is actually located in the center of the two holes, which is completely contrary to common sense.

This discovery also made Jeffrey feel extremely surprised. He had vaguely realized something in his mind, but he couldn't think of the key point.

"It's like water waves..." A short wizard next to him murmured to himself.

Jeffrey was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, grabbed the wizard's collar tightly, and asked excitedly. "Water wave? What water wave?"

The short wizard was startled by Jeffrey who suddenly became extremely excited, and stammered in response. "It's just the ripples of water, teacher..."

"Show me again, the water wave you just mentioned... now!" Jeffrey released the wizard, used [Mage's Hand] to pull a basin and put it on the table, and spoke excitedly

said.

The short wizard did not dare to neglect at all. He took a double-hole baffle from the laboratory and put it into the basin. He left it there for a few minutes until the water flow in the basin completely calmed down.

Stretch out your hand and touch it on the water.

"Like this!"

Under the gaze of everyone, waves of water spread out in all directions from the finger, and soon hit the gap in the baffle.

After the vibrating water wave passed through the gap, it immediately split into two new ripples and began to spread in a semi-circular shape with the gap as the center.

Since the two gaps are very close together, the water waves generated quickly collide with each other and begin to interfere, cancel or merge with each other.

"It's the peaks and troughs of the waves... So it's like this, it turns out it's like this!" Jeffrey understood the moment he saw the water waves, and a look of extreme surprise appeared on his face. No wonder he felt familiar just now, because this

It is very similar to the ripples produced by using force field magic to stir up time and space.

At this moment, he seemed to have seen a corona medal waving to him!

"Teacher, what is going on?" The faces of the apprentices beside him were full of confusion. They didn't understand it at all, and they didn't quite understand why Jeffrey became so excited.

The excitement in Jeffrey's heart could not be suppressed, and he immediately explained to the apprentices. "You can think of the ripples spreading on the water as light, which is easy to understand..."

Water waves will cause ripples on a calm lake.

Some places will bulge, which are called wave crests, and some places will sink, which are called wave troughs.

If two ripples of equal intensity appear at the same time as just now, they will interfere with each other when they meet.

When the crests of two ripples meet, the interference wave generated will become stronger than before, and when the troughs of the waves meet, the water surface will be sunken deeper due to the superposition of the two troughs.

In addition, there is another situation where when the crest of one wave meets the trough of another wave, the two cancel each other out.

The same is true for light. When a beam of light passes through two cracks, it will also interfere with each other, so a strange scene of bright and dark light constantly alternating will occur.

The bright place is the crest of the wave, and the dark place is the trough...

Under Jeffrey's explanation, the apprentices quickly looked at the water waves, and soon discovered that after the two water waves collided, the place where the wave crest appeared was exactly the direction where the light spot lit up before, and the two were almost exactly the same!

"In this way, the scattering and reflection phenomena of light are also explained. Look at those water waves. After they collide with objects, their power will be partially weakened, and then they will bounce back..."

The more Jeffrey talked, the more he felt that his light wave theory was absolutely perfect and could completely explain every natural phenomenon of light.

"So light is by no means composed of tiny light elements. Its essence is a wave, just like the ripples produced by stirring space and magnetic fields, it is a continuous and indivisible existence!" Jeffrey said categorically.

concluded.

This is definitely a research result that is enough to shock the entire magic world and decipher the nature of light!

The wizards and apprentices who gathered around Jeffrey were equally excited.

You can imagine what kind of storm it will cause when they present this theory at an academic seminar three months later. Their teacher Jeffrey will undoubtedly be able to obtain a Corona Medal, and their support staff may also be able to obtain it.

A Morning Star Medal as a reward.

This is a great honor!

Just when the wizards from all the schools were flattering happily, someone also made a worried suggestion. "Teacher, do you want to publish some of the results first? I heard that many schools are studying optics. Since we have this phenomenon,

If you can discover it, others may not think of it.”

Hearing this, Jeffrey immediately became vigilant and hurriedly said, "You are right. I will start the manuscript now. You should sort out the research notes of these days as soon as possible. It is best to sort out the paper before noon.

"

"And help me find Roll, the editor of the Magic Daily. I remember that he recently stopped in the City of Fire and Oil. If we go quickly enough, we might be able to catch up with the Magic Daily that will be released tonight!" Jeffrey said

He gave instructions very quickly.

This experiment is actually not difficult to do, and the water wave theory is not that difficult to imagine. Jeffrey clearly knows that the reason why he is the first discoverer is entirely due to his staying behind to refine deuterium and tritium elements.

There is plenty of time for academic research.

Now that the war against the empire is coming to an end, everyone's time is free. If we wait until the academic seminar in three months, who knows if anyone will stop him.

In short, release some of the research results first and occupy a position first. You must not let others snatch this glory away first!

Jeffrey wrote hard, spent several hours, and successfully completed the paper before noon. His mood suddenly became extremely good, and he gave ten magic gold coins to each of the wizards in the laboratory as an advance payment.

reward!

As for the few wizards who reminded him and inspired him, Jeffrey even patted his chest and promised that he would ensure that they get a Morning Star Medal!

"Anthony and the others should still be studying changes in magnetic fields and electric fields now, right?" Jeffrey thought quite proudly. There were three great wizards over there, and until now they had not been able to thoroughly understand the electromagnetic field. As a result, he went ahead.

Understand the nature of light in one step.

Jeffrey is extremely looking forward to what kind of expressions they will have after today's Magic Daily is released.

At the same time, in the city of kerosene, the great wizard Anthony and others, whom Jeffrey longed for, were anxiously pacing in the laboratory, staring at the four exquisite formulas in front of them from time to time, frowning in thought.

These formulas are exactly Maxwell's equations written by Lynn himself in the small universe!

At first, Anthony felt that these four formulas were extremely profound. After in-depth study, he was even more surprised to find that this is simply the Bible of Thunder Techniques!

Taking each formula apart, the calculations are enough to fill several pages. Their research and experiments on electric fields and magnetic fields are enough to prove the accuracy of these calculations.

According to some Thunder wizards - the truth is jumping out of the page in a wonderful way!

What they are now exploring is the propagation speed of lightning in different media.

Like light, the speed of thunder is also extremely fast, and its propagation speed in the air can even reach tens of thousands of kilometers per second!

But this is obviously not the limit!

After testing dozens of different substances, Anthony discovered that thunder propagates extremely fast on conductors. In order to conduct an accurate experiment, they created several conductors that were ten kilometers long and made of different materials.

, and prepare to use practice to demonstrate how fast it is.

The results of this experiment should be available today!

Just as Anthony was getting more and more impatient, the closed laboratory was finally opened, and dozens of thunder wizards filed in. One of them said happily.

"The experiment has been tested, Master Anthony."

"What is its propagation speed?" Before Anthony could speak, the Thunder wizards on the side asked eagerly.

"It's two hundred and ninety-nine thousand kilometers per second!" the man replied.

"Two hundred and ninety-nine thousand kilometers..." Anthony kept murmuring, why did this speed sound so familiar.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Isn't that about the same speed as light?" Witch Fulla said in confusion.

"Of course we are not wrong, we have tested it hundreds of times!" The great wizard Sanchez rolled his eyes. The current propagates at the same speed in each conductor. It is because of the resistance problem that the intensity of the current transmitted is different.

In order to ensure its accuracy, Sanchez even took action himself, relying on the great wizard's excellent perception and calculation power to determine the moment when the current arrived.

He was almost electrocuted dozens of times in a row, so he was extremely sure that this value was definitely correct!

"But...how could it be such a coincidence?" The wizards present looked at each other in confusion.

The last time they relied on gear rotation to test, they found that the speed of light was 299,520 kilometers per second. The difference between the two is very small. It can even be said that they are exactly the same. It is just that the speed is too fast and exceeds their reaction ability. So

There will be slight errors during testing.

Anthony never believed that this was just a coincidence. There must be a deeper relationship between the two.

He had already noticed this when studying Maxwell's equations.

Suddenly, Anthony seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly pointed at Maxwell's equations on the table and shouted excitedly. "I understand...light is electricity, light is electricity!"

"Light is electricity?" Sanchez couldn't help but frowned. Although the speed of electric current in a conductor is similar to that of light, he can't draw such an arbitrary conclusion, right?

You must know that the propagation speed of thunder in the air is far slower than that of light. For example, they can barely sense electric current, but they cannot sense the light element at all!

Anthony explained with great enthusiasm. "Listen to me, light may be electricity that exists in another form. The relationship between the two is like the magnetic field and the electric field!"

"Just like the electric lamps all over the city of kerosene, after the electricity enters the wick, it is consumed in the form of light, or in other words, the electricity is converted into light and emitted!"

"If my guess is not wrong, electricity can be converted into light, and then the concentrated light beam can also be converted into electric current!" Anthony patted the table excitedly.

"Quick, start the experiment right away!"

Hundreds of Thunder Wizards immediately got busy. After spending a whole night and trying countless materials, they successfully built a simple solar device!

Just as Anthony thought, after the light beam hit this device, it was continuously converted into electricity!

Witnessing the motor successfully starting, the entire laboratory suddenly burst into cheers and applause.

"Teacher, you are right, light is electricity, and electricity is light!" Fulla was also convinced. It seems that they have finally decided on the Corona Medal, which understands the essence of light!

Sanchez added on the side. "I dare say that light is mostly tiny electrons, and lightning is like those radioactive elements. After being excited, it will continuously project its own energy around until it is consumed.

All."

"What a wonderful idea. It seems that we will be able to find light particles, or even tinier electrical elements, soon!" Anthony said with appreciation.

This discovery will definitely detonate the entire magic world, and their names will definitely be engraved in the history of magic!

However, just when everyone was rejoicing, the door to the laboratory was knocked open.

Anthony turned around quite dissatisfied and found that the person who pushed the door open was another of his disciples - Kagar.

Kajal held a few pages of newspapers in his hand. After hurriedly entering the door, he gasped and said. "Teacher, please take a look at today's Magic Daily. The great wizard Jeffrey said... He has successfully decrypted the light."

nature!"
