Chapter 359

As he spoke, he seemed to feel that his dry words were not convincing enough, so he raised his hand and shot out an electron beam. "This is the microscopic particle that you first discovered and named. You called it electron, right? Doesn't this mean that you also think it's a particle? Otherwise, why don't you call it an electric wave? "

Another Hyperdimensional mage stood up and said, "There's also protons and neutrons. Isn't fission caused by neutrons entering the uranium core? It has real mass! "

The two's words stirred up the crowd. They could accept that particles had particle properties, but they could not accept that particles had wave properties at the same time. So, they stood up one after another to refute Adam's theory. For a moment, Adam was in a situation where everyone was pointing fingers at him.

Adam looked at them calmly and did not immediately explain. At this time, all words were pale and powerless. Only the real experimental results were persuasive.

The three mages were also puzzled, but they had heard Adam's words in advance and were mentally prepared, so they did not question him. They believed that if Adam dared to say so, he must have real evidence to prove it. Otherwise, he would be the only one who would suffer losses if it was just empty talk.

His Holiness Croft snorted coldly, and the mages involuntarily fell back to their seats. "Everyone, silence, please maintain the minimum respect and dignity!"

Adam's tone did not change at all. "First of all, light is a kind of electromagnetic wave. Does anyone have any doubts about this?"

The mages used silence instead of answering.

Adam put the electromagnetic spectrum on the light screen. "This is the electromagnetic spectrum I formulated based on my own electromagnetic wave theory. It is not necessarily complete, but it is very accurate. As you can see, light, or the visible light that ordinary life can see with the naked eye, is located in the middle of the spectrum. It has wave properties and particle properties at the same time. Dividing it by the center, the low-energy radiation area is more wave properties, while the high-energy radiation area is more particle properties. I won't explain much here. If you are interested, you can read my paper, the argument is very complete. "

"The reason why we can see light is because of this." A photon appeared in Adam's hand. Although no one could see it, they could feel it. "I call it photon. It is also a microscopic particle, and the experiment just now has proved that it has wave-particle duality."

"But maybe photons only exist in visible light, or maybe they're just a special kind of microscopic particle," another Hyperdimensional Mage questioned.

Adam did not answer. Instead, he adjusted the content on the light beam to show the model of the atom, in which the electron orbits were clearly visible. "As everyone knows, an atom is made up of an atomic nucleus and electrons outside the nucleus. Electrons orbit inside the atom, and according to their distance from the nucleus, they have different energies. When an electron jumps from a high-energy orbit to a low-energy orbit, it will release photons."

Recently, everyone had been dealing with the atomic model every day. The phenomenon of energy level transition was constantly discovered. They all knew that electrons could move and could receive or release energy.

"Even if photons are indeed produced this way, what proof do you have that the properties of photons and electrons are the same? Does it mean that the child I give birth to must have the same body and personality as me? What if I give birth to a boy? What if I give birth to a boy who is mentally retarded? "A female Hyperdimensional Mage said sharply.

His Holiness Croft said angrily, "Bo Li, watch your words. Be decent!"

Adam sighed in his heart. He thought that the difficulty was only the incredible phenomenon after the double-slit experiment. He did not expect that the wave-particle duality would attract so many doubts.

"Your Excellency Bo Li, please be patient. I will prove the wave-particle duality of electrons in the next experiment."

Adam walked to the experiment table in person. The clone placed the equipment in front of him as fast as possible, including several baffles with different sizes of gaps, a display screen, and the highest-power observation magic circle, etc.

After the preparation was done, Adam began the experiment of the interference of macroscopic objects.

"First of all, we need to see the macroscopic performance of particles and waves more intuitively. For that, I designed this experiment."

After saying that, Adam activated the launcher. Countless colored balls with a diameter of five millimeters were shot at the baffles randomly. Some of them were blocked by the baffles and fell to the ground, and some of them passed through the baffles and hit the display screen from different heights.

"As you can see, the balls that I used to replace particles are arranged on the same line and the same area on the display screen after passing through the baffles." Adam replaced a baffle with two slits. "It's the same when there are two slits."

Then, the clone took out a container that was filled with water and repeated the process. When the water waves passed through the single-slit baffles, the scene on the display screen was similar to that of the balls. However, when the water waves passed through the double-slit baffles, if the peak of one wave met the trough of another wave, they would cancel each other out. Multiple interference fringes appeared on the display screen. The places where the peaks met had the highest brightness, and the places where the waves were canceled out had nothing.

Everybody nodded in silence. The experiment was very intuitive and easy to understand. It was indeed a reflection of the properties of waves and particles.

Adam said, "Next, we are going to see the properties of electrons under the same conditions. Please pay attention. "

Some of the sorcerers could not help but clench their fists.

The original experiment equipment had been replaced. The gap in the middle of the single-slit baffles was no longer visible to the naked eye. The electron emission source was a specially made equipment.

When the swarms of electrons passed through the single-slit baffles, as expected, the scene on the display screen was exactly the same as when the colored balls passed through.

A sorcerer stood up and shouted, "Look! Electrons are the same. They are particles, not waves! "

"This is your own experiment. You have proven that your viewpoint is wrong!"

"The wave-particle duality of electrons is just your nonsense!"

The scene became chaotic. They found the loophole in Adam's argument and refuted it relentlessly.

Her Majesty Meyer could not take it anymore. "Silence! Adam has not announced the end of the experiment. What are you doing? If you don't want to see it, get out! "

Adam nodded gratefully to Her Majesty Meyer. Then, he replaced the second baffles and continued the experiment without saying a word.

When the result was revealed, it was earth-shattering.

"How could this be?!"

"Why?!"

"Impossible! They are particles. How could they behave like waves?! "

"I don't believe it. I want to check your experiment equipment!"
