Chapter 361

"Light is a wave and a particle."

As soon as Lena said this, the whole conference room was filled with mixed exclamations.

Most mages thought that Lena would come up with some earth shaking theories, or even put an end to the war between wave theory and particle theory. But unexpectedly, he came up with a seemingly "ridiculous" answer.

Both waves and particles?

You're kidding.

Let's not say whether there is any matter in the world that is both wave and particle. The answer itself seems to make fun of the debate in the mage world in recent decades.

Even if we don't insist on whether light is a wave or a particle, the ambiguous answer given by Reiner is hard to accept.

"Lena Ian gray, are you serious?"

Legendary mage Carl David advocated particle theory. At first, he saw Lena's photoelectric effect paper and thought that Lena was a member of the particle school. Unexpectedly, in just two papers, he betrayed the particle school and gave such an absurd answer.

"Is there really matter in this world, both waves and particles?"

"Now, Sir David."

Lena replied in a deep voice.

"Ha ha, I know that photoelectric effect, interference and diffraction are difficult to coexist, but our goal is not to use a complete theory to explain two contradictory experimental phenomena clearly. Now, instead of solving the problem, we should choose a compromise method to avoid the problem, which is not what a mage should do."

Carl David is just like his practical style. He talks bluntly and does not care about other people's feelings. Before he became a legendary mage, David often quarrels with others. The result of quarrel is to compare magic. The winner is always David. In the field of legend, no one dares to quarrel with him any more.

Carl David prefers to reason with his fist rather than with his mouth.

Of course, his refutation of Lena is not simply unreasonable. David thinks that accepting Lena's statement is the last choice, which represents the failure and compromise of the mages in exploring the world.

In fact, he doesn't care whether light is a particle or a wave. What he cares about is how to use a complete theory to explain the various characteristics of light, whether it is a wave or a particle. If he can do it, it means that the mages have the most in-depth understanding of the nature of light.

It's quite helpless to have both of them at the same time.

Just like the problem of blackbody radiation, the law of thermal radiation displacement and Oakland David's law hold in the high frequency and low frequency fields respectively, but they will fail in the opposite frequency domain. Before the appearance of Stein's formula, mages used two sets of formulas in the high frequency and low frequency fields, and only got nearly similar curves. How similar is this to the dilemma of the nature of light today?

As the co proposer of Oakland David's law, Carl David, who has experienced the bitterness of it, will refute this ambiguous statement.

"If it's not necessary, don't add substance, that's what you said, so why add a feature to light?"

Mr. Lanchester stanyon also spoke, and his words made many mages nod their heads. Although the statement that light has two properties at the same time can solve almost all the problems about light, it is too hasty to explain the experimental phenomenon with a hypothesis.

"If it is true that light has two characteristics at the same time as you said, then what is the essence of light and what does it usually exist in? Will it change its own characteristics because it encounters different things?"

When Alan von Norbert Reinhardt asked questions, he was not so aggressive, but his questions were also thought-provoking.

Indeed, the existence of matter should be certain. How can matter change its own characteristics because of different observation methods? It's just like light itself has the will, which is contrary to the research phenomenon of mages for a long time.

"Lena Ian gray, you'd better explain your point with the experimental results. If there is experimental support, we should accept the absurd conclusion."

In the end, Herman Bragg's speech gradually stopped the discussion in the meeting. People looked at Lena thoughtfully, waiting for his proof.

Hall looked at Lena Ian gray from a distance and was questioned by many legendary mages, but there was no panic on Lena's face, only calm and self-confidence.

This is a more serious situation than that of Sir isaris Alberton at that time.

At that time, sir isaris Alberton was still a high-level mage. He had different opinions from several other high-level mages, so he debated in the high-level Council. The only difference was that no one could say whether the three laws of kinematics were true at that time.

Now, Lena is facing seven legendary mages, dozens of high-level mages and hundreds of medium level mages.

Almost everyone disagrees with his argument, and anyone here can give examples to refute it.Can Lena prove it?

How is he going to prove it?

"In my hypothesis, light is a special kind of material with the characteristics of wave and particle. When we observe light from different angles, light will show different characteristics."

Said Lena, in silence.

"When the light irradiates the metal plate, the particle property makes the light quantum excite the outermost electrons of the atom and produce a current. When the light passes through a small hole or a double slit, the wave property makes it possible to have diffraction and interference. It is precisely because the light has both these properties that such a contradictory phenomenon appears."

Many mages can't help his words, because his statement seems to be a simple summary, but the real experiment part is not mentioned. Some people even think that Lena is just a delay.

"The reason why I say these seemingly nonsense things is to make you psychologically prepared, so as to prevent the theory I'm going to talk about from causing some unfortunate accidents. I must emphasize to you that you should forget all the worlds you have known before, start from the blank and follow my rhythm to re understand the light, otherwise, it is very likely that unexpected situations will occur, You know what I'm talking about

Looking around the stage, Lena said calmly and calmly.

His words made the middle level mages panic, because the meaning of Reiner's words is self-evident, and his next display is likely to lead to cognitive collapse!

Is Lena going to come up with a subversive theory?

The senior mages were also a little uneasy. At this time, the atmosphere of the venue was like an empty valley, solemn and silent, as if only one spark would explode completely.

After a pause, Lena continued.

"In fact, as Mr. Lanchester said, if there is no need to add substance, we do not need to impose an attribute on light in order to explain the contradictory phenomenon of light in different experiments. Therefore, what I want to say is that wave particle duality is not only the unique attribute of light, but also the characteristic of microscopic particles. For this, I will give experimental proof."

Leiner said calmly, looking directly at the legendary mages, it was as if he was not an academic master, but his own students.

"It's in this conference hall."
