Chapter 657： Wave-particle duality of light
In the debate, nothing is more interesting than the debate on light.
Thanks to the textbooks written by Wu Changqing, the Chinese people's understanding of light has been at the forefront of the world.
Some prism experiments have long been done countless times.
At this time, the Chinese not only knew that light consisted of multiple colors, but also roughly knew that the speed of light was 300,000 kilometers per second.
This is what Wu Changqing told them. As for why there are so many, no one knows this.
However, some people took measurements, but the measured results are quite different from what Wu Changqing said.
Measuring the speed of light can actually be done with current technical conditions, but it requires a very sophisticated experimental device, which no one has thought of yet.
Wu Changqing knew it, but he didn't have so much time to measure the speed of light.
Even if the speed of light is measured, the impact on real life is not particularly large.
The meaning of everything else he did was not lower than the measurement beam.
Although no one accurately measured the result, not many people would question it, and more often think that their measurement level is not enough.
What is ahead of the measurement is theoretical research. Nowadays, the research on the nature of light has been divided into two groups. They are arguing whether light is a kind of particle or a kind of wave.
"If light is a wave, what is its medium?"
Asked Yin Zhijing of the light particle theory.
The propagation of waves requires a medium, but there is no obvious medium in this empty sky.
"There must be a kind of colorless, tasteless and invisible, extremely small humongous air, which fills every corner of the world. And light is spread by this humongous air."
Zhou Yanxue of the wave theory put forward a guess, and Wu Changqing heard that this is the Western theory of ether.
It's just that Zhou Yanxue's name is more domineering, and it's called Hongmeng Qi, the whole is the same as a fantasy novel.
"If there is a great atmosphere in the world, please confirm by Mr. Zhou."
Yin Zhijing is also a pragmaticist who believes in methodology and pays attention to evidence. He cannot be convinced if there is no evidence.
"It cannot be verified for the time being, but it does not mean that there is no such thing, just as all kinds of rare gases are constantly being confirmed. No one can say that it does not exist until it is discovered and confirmed.
From the light phenomenon that can be observed at present, it can be known that light is definitely a kind of wave, otherwise its reflection and refraction phenomena cannot be explained. "
Zhou Yanxue’s doctrines are not guessing out of thin air, but are based on actual observations and then theoretical derivations.
This, and pure guessing, is fundamentally different.
Moreover, he also said that the volatility of light is a hypothesis. He did not say that this theory must be correct, but that under the current circumstances, it can best justify it.
This is the attitude of doing science. People who do science will never say that their theories are the truth, and they welcome others to question and argue.
Idealism, on the other hand, emphasizes that a belief is correct and does not allow others to question it.
"Since you say that light is a wave, how do you explain its diffraction phenomenon?"
Yin Zhijing smiled and said, the diffraction phenomenon is a phenomenon that Zhou Yanxue can't justify at present, and it was immediately caught by Yin Zhijing.
However, there is no way to defeat Zhou Yanxue.
Because Yin Zhijing’s theory of light particles can only explain the linear propagation and reflection of light, but also cannot explain more complicated diffraction phenomena.
This diffraction phenomenon has also tortured countless scientists in the original time and space, allowing the particle theory and the wave theory to repeatedly dominate, and no one can deny the other.
Neither party could persuade anyone. At this time, Wu Changqing spoke again.
"Why do you have to argue about who is right and who is wrong? Don't you think that light may be both a particle and a wave. We can call it the wave-particle duality of light."
Wu Changqing was not a scientist in his previous life, but can only be regarded as a technology enthusiast.
He knows that light has wave-particle duality, and he also knows the famous double-slit experiment.
However, he only knew one concept, but didn't know the specific details, so he couldn't replicate the double stitch experiment.
However, it doesn’t matter. The phrase ‘light may be both a particle and a wave’ can bring great inspiration to Zhou Yanxue and Yin Zhejing.
Before, they didn't think about this at all, because the wave-particle duality of light is very difficult to understand.
If someone else said something like this, Zhou Yanxue and Yin Salute would definitely just smile without talking.
However, Wu Changqing is both an emperor and an enlightenment in the field of science. No one would think that Wu Changqing was just talking casually.
Many people regard Wu Changqing's words as truth.
But whenever Wu Changqing spoke, what he said was very meaningful.
Zhou Yanxue and Yin Zhijing are still pondering, Wu Changqing continued: "We may be able to design an experiment with..."
Wu Changqing briefly talked about the double-slit experiment he remembered, mainly to pay tribute to Zhou Yanxue and Yin.
As for whether they can comprehend and get this experiment out, it depends on their own abilities, he has no time to give pointers.
Moreover, his abilities end here, and if he really wants to give pointers, he can't tell.
Just as he knew the conclusions of the theory of relativity, but asking him to explain the theory of relativity, it also embarrassed him greatly.
After learning this experimental concept, Zhou Yan shouted "My Emperor Shengming" immediately.
He understood. He thoroughly understood the subtlety of this experiment that Wu Changqing said. And he was very sure that the experiment Wu Changqing said could prove the nature of light.
This makes him very excited, but this is a problem that has plagued him for a long time.
At the same time, it made him admire Wu Changqing's knowledge even more.
Sometimes, he will occasionally be narcissistic, because his research is ahead of most people, giving him a feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold, and everyone is like an ignorant.
But now, he discovered that Jiang is still old and hot, and his knowledge is still deep.
Although other people didn't understand it well, seeing Zhou Yanxue's reaction, they also knew that what Wu Changqing said must be very correct, otherwise Zhou Yanxue would not have such a big reaction.
After all, Zhou Yanxue has always been known for his arrogance.
To convince him, his identity alone is not enough, he has to be truly knowledgeable.
Similar to Zhou Yanxue's thoughts, other people admire Wu Changqing's knowledge.
Most of the time, they believe in science.
But when looking at Wu Changqing, they can't help but have a kind of superstition in their hearts.
Among them, some people actually believe that Wu Changqing is the reincarnation of a god.
If it were not for the reincarnation of a god, there would be no way to explain why Wu Changqing could understand so much at such a young age. This, this is not scientific.
