Meet the principal - Scene 358. The Devil’s Experiment (Part 1)
“Give experimental proof on site?”
“All microscopic particles have wave-particle duality. Is he crazy?”
“How is he going to prove it?”
After hearing Reiner’s speech, the scene boiled after a brief silence.
People were talking about it. Previously, because Reiner’s two papers first showed the experimental process before coming to the conclusion, they were convincing and could not be refuted.
But now, Reiner has put forward an extremely weird point of view, and it has not yet been proven experimentally. People are naturally suspicious and question Reiner.
“Are all microscopic particles both waves and particles? This is really an interesting point of view.”
His Excellency Hermann Braggs stroked his beard. This might be the most interesting theory he heard after the three laws of kinematics. As a mage, his habit made him question it, but Braggs Your Excellency can’t help but think that if this theory is true, then the world that the mages thought they knew long ago may have to be overthrown and rebuilt.
“If that’s the case, then our theory would have to be restructured.”
His Excellency Isaris Alberton said in a deep voice. On the one hand, he is trying to unify the theories of various motions, ranging from the trajectories of stars in the sky to the subtle interactions between particles. His Excellency Alberton believes that these movements can be explained by a simple and elegant equation. If microscopic particles and light are really both waves and particles, then obviously the laws of motion on a large scale cannot be applied to microscopic particles. All the work he has done before is In vain.
On the other hand, if this is true, then some of the contradictions between experiments and theories that have troubled Alberton for a long time may be explained. From a certain perspective, Alberton’s research will stop stagnating because of this. Get relief from the current predicament and maybe make new discoveries.
This conflicting mood lingers in the hearts of every mage who has done research in this area, and they are even more looking forward to how Reiner’s experiment will prove this point.
“First of all, our current definition of microscopic particles is tiny and unobservable particles, such as electrons and particles that make up the nucleus of an atom. My experiment will start with electrons.”
electronic!
In the minds of most mages, these particles, which were only discovered this year due to radiation phenomena, should be small spheres, orbiting the nucleus like planets.
The atomic nucleus model tells people that the atomic nucleus is extremely small and the electron mass is even smaller. The two are not like stars and planets, but more like an egg in the center of a square and pepper seeds circling around the outside of the square. .
The directional movement of electrons one by one constitutes an electric current and also forms an electron stream ray. This is people’s current theory.
Reiner, one of the discoverers of electrons, wants to tell everyone that electrons are also a wave?
incredible!
If the electron is a wave, are the particles that make up the nucleus also a wave?
If atoms are all waves, then molecules and compounds are all made of waves?
So the entire world is a wave, capable of diffraction and interference, that is, humans can pass through a narrow gap, and when two people come into contact, they will interfere and blend together?
This goes against the grain of knowledge.
After thinking carefully, many mid-level mages felt extremely frightened, as if the world they were familiar with collapsed in an instant.
No wonder Reiner said that all previous inherent concepts must be abandoned, otherwise, if they witness the process and results of the experiment, those stubborn mages may really have a cognitive breakdown and their brains will explode!
Hall suppressed his inner surprise. The quill beside him kept writing about Reiner and the movements of other mages in the venue, until Reiner took out the experimental device from his storage bag.
An electron beam generating array, a flat crystal, and a receiving screen.
These devices can be found in any mid-level mage’s laboratory and are commonplace.
“The experiment I am going to do next is called an electron diffraction experiment.”
Reiner said, and the venue was in an uproar.
Electron diffraction?
As we all know, one of the two conclusive evidences held by the Wave School of Light is that light can produce diffraction. And now, Reiner wants electrons to also produce diffraction?
This is crazy!
Because diffraction actually bypasses obstacles, if electrons can diffract, then the current can directly rely on the diffraction ability to penetrate the barrier. After reaching the wall, many electricity-related spells will be completely rewritten.
“The condition for diffraction is that the size of the obstacle must be close to the wavelength of the wave. According to the properties of electrons, we can establish two equations from the wave nature and the particle nature. The wave nature: P=h/λ and the particle nature: E=hv. By combining the two formulas, we can get an equation: λ=h/P=h/mv. This formula, which I call Ingle’s formula, is the formula that connects particles and waves. “
As Reiner spoke, he projected his calculation process. After substituting various conditions, he obtained the wavelength of the electron, which was a very small value.
“The wavelength of electrons is very small, so it will not produce diffraction in the face of most materials. We must use tiny-scale things to see the diffraction pattern.”
Hearing Reiner’s words, Lanchester Stanion narrowed his eyes.
The wavelength of electrons calculated according to Iain Gray’s formula is indeed very small. As a legendary mage of the alchemy department, Lord Stanion, who is familiar with various substances and is proficient in the production of various magic props, also knows very well that with the mage’s current There is no way to create such a tiny scale grating to observe the electron diffraction phenomenon.
At this time, he noticed the crystal in Reiner’s hand. After thinking about it carefully, Lord Stanion suddenly realized it.
The mage’s current means cannot create such a tiny grating, but this does not mean that there are no natural gratings of this size in nature.
That is the lattice structure of the crystal.
Through research, the mages have learned that most crystals are arranged in a lattice structure, which is very regular, and the gaps in them are extremely small. In this way, this becomes a natural grating.
Using an electron beam to shoot the crystal, whether the diffraction array can be seen on the receiving screen is the key to this experiment.
If there is no diffraction pattern, it means that the electron has no wave characteristics and is a complete particle. Reiner’s argument does not hold true.
If a derivative pattern appears, it means that electrons will exhibit wave characteristics under certain conditions, and Reiner’s argument is valid.
Reiner quickly set up the vacuum experimental device and started the electron beam generator.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the reception screen.
At this time, a pattern appeared on the dark reception screen.
