Calculate a person's wavelength? The wizards present were a little bit unbelievable. People actually have wave properties? Jeffrey was even more unbelievable. Even though he was one of the pioneers of light wave properties, he didn't dare to say such a weird statement that people have wave properties! Lin En seemed to have not seen everyone's surprise. He used his hand as a pen and casually wrote a few symbols in the void, which was the famous de Broglie wavelength formula! The formula was extremely simple and clear at a glance.
It can even be said to be unbelievably simple!
λ=h/p!
The symbol λ is the wavelength.
They were very familiar with P, which was momentum, the product of an object's mass and velocity! The only thing they were unfamiliar with was the h.
"This is a quantum constant. Like the gravitational constant, it has a fixed value of 6.626×10^(-34) joules per second!" Lin En explained.
When the wizards who were keen on studying the microscopic field heard the word "quantum constant", they immediately showed a look of understanding.
This is a concept mentioned by Lin En in his paper "The World of Probability - Quantum Mechanics" published in Magic Daily, when he explained the research on radiation light and the particle nature of electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves are electromagnetic fields that propagate in the form of fluctuations, but when they interact with charged particles, they exhibit a discontinuity in energy and momentum.
So the magic star assumes that it is not emitting and absorbing continuously, but in portions, then there must be a minimum value! This value is the quantum constant - the smallest energy that can be divided!
The entire wavelength calculation formula translates to the wavelength of an object being equal to the quantum constant divided by its momentum! With the great wizard's computing power, Anthony only took one second to figure out that the wavelength of an adult moving at a normal speed is about 10^(-37) meters, which is almost negligible.
Not to mention the naked eye, even the perception of a legendary wizard could never reach such a scale.
"But this quantum constant should just be your hypothesis!" Jeffrey was not convinced by the wave formula that Lynn brought out.
After all, using a hypothetical thing to prove that one's theory is correct, isn't that nonsense? Before Lin En could speak, Alok couldn't help but explain.
"This is not a hypothesis. It is the highest achievement of the dean's research on electromagnetic waves and thermal radiation! We have found a way to emit a single photon. This wavelength formula is 100% accurate in calculating the wavelength and frequency of light and electricity. It can even predict where microscopic particles may appear, which is almost perfectly consistent with the experimental results!"
After hearing what Alok said, a smile appeared on Lynn's lips. Once the quantum field is involved, Planck's constant becomes something that needs to be confirmed first, because too many formulas are related to it. It is also the third thing that can be called a physical constant after the speed of light and the gravitational constant!
Unfortunately, due to limited conditions, Lynn could only measure the value of Planck's constant by replicating Joseph von Pfaff's gyroscopic geometry device, and the accuracy was not high.
If we want to further improve the accuracy, we may have to rely on particle colliders.
When Anthony and others heard Alok say that they had found the light quantum, they were all shocked.
Why were all the previous double-slit interference experiments conducted with electrons? That was because they had no way of emitting photons one by one! Some staunch wave wizards even believed that photons did not exist at all, and that this thing had been determined to be electromagnetic waves!
It's a wave, not a particle! But if Alok wasn't lying, then this conclusion would be overturned, and waves also have the properties of particles! Arad on the side noticed another more explosive news and said excitedly. "You just said that you can predict the landing point of microscopic particles?"
Due to the many strange properties of the microscopic field and the extremely small size, there is no way to make any measurements. Even the gravitational deformation amplification method previously used to measure atoms is ineffective.
So until now, there is completely no data on the shape, mass, trajectory, etc. of quantum.
For example, in the double-slit experiment, they didn't know where the next electron might appear, or even whether it would fall on the fluorescent screen.
This is also the biggest problem currently faced in the study of microscopic particles. All its characteristics seem to be chaotic and there is no clue.
"If you want to say prediction, then of course I can." Lin En laughed and then explained, "But this is not the kind of precise prediction you think it is. It should be called a probability cloud distribution map!"
It is almost impossible to make an accurate single prediction of the location of a quantum at a certain moment.
Because the Federation has proved through countless experiments that this thing is truly random rather than pseudo-random that cycles according to a certain pattern.
But if more than 100,000 electron emissions are carried out, the accuracy of this probability cloud distribution model can reach more than 99%!
Just like tossing a coin in your hand, as long as you do it enough times, the number of times it lands on the heads or tails will always be close to 50%!
"So every microscopic particle is constantly rolling the dice, deciding where it will appear the next moment when it is observed?" Jeffrey really couldn't understand. "Doesn't this consume energy?"
"Why not the other way around? Maybe energy is only needed when the probability collapses." Lin En shrugged.
This strange yet reasonable statement left Jeffrey speechless.
Arad and others were thinking about the wavelength formula and probability cloud model proposed by Lynn.
They have not yet confirmed the authenticity of the latter through experiments, so they cannot evaluate it for the time being. However, the former perfectly fits what Lin En just said, that the more macroscopic the object, the weaker the wave properties it exhibits.
After all, the larger the P momentum as the divisor, the smaller the final wavelength value will be, and the more insignificant it will be compared to its own mass and volume.
Only quantum particles in a microscopic state will exhibit wave properties that are particularly obvious compared to their mass.
Or, in other words, this conclusion itself is deduced from this formula! Arad, who was thinking, soon thought that this wavelength formula and probability cloud model might be one of the entry points for studying the quantum field...
Wait, aren't they here to argue against probability theory? Arad suddenly realized this.
Damn it, I was almost fooled by this magic star! (PS: The second chapter will be updated at around 4 o'clock tomorrow. Thank you for your support and rewards. I will update more in the next few days!) (End of this chapter)
