"Lord Anthony, is this world really without color?" Fulla asked in a low voice from the audience.
Anthony frowned and did not answer. Alok and others beside him were also muttering in their hearts. They still believed in the words of the dean, but this time it was too outrageous...
Similar discussions echoed throughout the auditorium. At the same time, Glenn took a deep breath and, following Lynn's instructions, placed the light dissociation device in his hand under the beam of sunlight falling from overhead.
The white light was immediately separated into an incomparably gorgeous seven-color rainbow light...
Then, Glenn blocked out the other colors of light, leaving only the blue light, and directed it at Johnny.
A beam of dazzling blue light soon shone on the girl, and then all the wizards in the auditorium couldn't help but stand up, with expressions of astonishment on their faces...
"This... how could it happen? It actually turned black?" Raphael stared at the platform. Under the illumination of the blue light, the girl's originally fair skin turned the same azure blue as the light, while the red dress on her body turned dark black.
Glenn also tried hard to suppress his surprise and turned the light separation device in his hand, transitioning from blue light to green light and then to yellow light, but no matter which light was used, Johnny's clothes were completely black.
If her skin color had not been constantly changing with the light, everyone present would have thought that the light separation device was broken.
The situation finally changed when Glenn passed the blue light and began to transition to red light. The orange light shone on Johnny's body, and the long dress immediately turned back to its original bright red.
This strange optical phenomenon surprised the wizards present, especially the great wizard who had spoken out against Lin En before, who was completely stunned.
"The yellow light was absorbed!" Glenn muttered to himself.
Raphael and the others quickly thought of what Lin En had just said. Orange is a mixture of red and yellow. Now that the yellow light has been absorbed, only red light can be reflected back! Just as they thought, from orange light to red light and then to purple light, the entire color layer on the long skirt will only show different intensities of red...
"This is impossible! That dress must be cast with a spell!" a witch in the audience shouted in disbelief.
“Anyone who has doubts about this experiment can come up and try it themselves. Everything you can find has the ability to reflect and absorb light, just to different degrees.” Lynn said with a smile.
Following Lynn's suggestion, curious wizards walked up to the platform one by one and placed the clothes, rags, necklaces, various ornaments and alchemical tools they could find in the center of the platform and illuminated them with different colors of light.
The result was exactly the same as what Lynn had said, but since most things do not purely reflect light of a certain color, only Johnny's red dress was very bright and absorbed other colors of light very well, so there was such an obvious change.
"It's actually true... Objects themselves have no color at all. Everything we see is the reflection of light..." After conducting the experiment himself, Sanchez no longer had any doubts in his mind.
If the object itself has color, then under the illumination of different colors of light, it should show changes in color instead of simply turning black. Therefore, the only explanation is that the object has no color, and the color is the light they see!
Lin En looked at Sanchez in surprise. This question was very profound. After all, it was a change at the quantum scale. He could explain it, but he couldn't give a definite proof...
After thinking for a while, Lin En carefully answered. "I think you may have noticed that a white object absorbs heat the slowest in the sun, while a black object absorbs heat the fastest. After all, it absorbs all the light and obtains the most energy!"
"I see, is it the heat generated by the gathering of 'light elements'?" Raphael thought about it based on the light element theory popular in the wizard land, and then said with emotion. "Your wisdom is amazing, Master Lin En... It seems that making you the judge is the most correct decision!"
If Lin En wasn't here, they would definitely accept Glenn's theory of original color...
Although the deduction of magic theory is always accompanied by fallacies, and there are many theories that were previously recognized and even promoted by the parliament but were overturned, the judges who made the decision still felt like they had been slapped in the face.
On the podium, Glenn and the others looked very depressed, but they could not say anything to refute. After all, the ironclad evidence was right in front of them.
"Lord Lin, it seems that our research is wrong." Glenn said disappointedly, holding the light dissociation device in his hand.
Lin En said with a smile, "Your research does have some errors, but it is also of great value and can be a good supplement to the theory of light magic. After all, our enemies are usually humans."
"In my personal name, I nominate you for the Morning Star Medal!" Lin En said solemnly.
As an academic judge, it is his job to point out the errors and omissions in new magic theories, and nominating them for the Morning Star Medal is to encourage this spirit of magic research.
It has only been a year since he made the glass, but Glenn and others were able to discover the characteristics of this thing, make a qualified prism, and find the changes in the three primary colors. This is already very impressive!
"What do you think?" Lin En looked at the judges and asked.
Raphael and others looked at each other. Glenn's research results were worthy of a Morning Star Medal, but they could also see that Lynn had a deep understanding of optics and was not unfamiliar with the original color. He could also direct Glenn to conduct experiments, so he should have known this theory for a long time.
However, since even Lin En did not object, the few of them discussed it and finally agreed.
The spirit of the Magic Seminar is to encourage wizards to conduct magic research and publish the corresponding results. Since Glenn and others have independently researched the phenomenon of rainbow light and three primary colors, they are still worthy of reward...
