Under Lin En's order, Alok and others who were waiting in the audience quickly brought up the props for this experiment.
Very simple, only three things in total!
A palm-sized lead box and a ring-shaped detection device.
The last thing is a piece of gold foil with a width of only 0.1 micron!
It took Lin En a full day to make this thing. If he hadn't become a great wizard, it would be impossible to achieve such precision with the current level of craftsmanship...
After all the experimental equipment was prepared, Lin En stopped showing off, looked around the wizards in the conference room, and spoke solemnly.
"Everyone, the atomic model hypothesis you just proposed is very exciting, but whether a theoretical theory is consistent with reality must be proven by experiments after all!"
"This is natural!" Anthony nodded.
He was very confident in his elemental purple fruit model, but he had to admit that the ideas put forward by some congressmen were also very interesting.
For example, the flame wizard Adela believes that the electrons inside the elements are arranged in a way that positive and negative charges are intertwined, so they can be closely combined and will not repel each other because of the same sex, so they come together to form a solid atom.
In addition, there are more than ten different theories such as water droplet nature, external divergence, and element solid theory, all of which have a certain degree of rationality...
However, how to verify it is undoubtedly the most troublesome problem for all wizards who propose elemental models.
Because the element itself is too tiny, they tried countless methods but could not break it. Some wizards even used the principle of concave and convex mirrors to develop ultra-high-power microscopic magic, but they still couldn't see anything, so I am very curious about what means this magic star will use to verify this.
Lin En didn't mean to show off, and quickly explained.
Alpha particles are scattered from the inside of the radium element, which also means that its volume is much smaller than many elements, its speed is extremely fast, and more importantly, it has the ability to escape the control of the element.
"After my calculations, the speed of alpha particles is about 20,000 kilometers per second..." Lin En said.
"Twenty thousand kilometers..." Sanchez clicked his tongue, shocked by this outrageous data.
Although they have measured even more outrageous speeds of light, this speed measured in thousands of kilometers per second is still beyond their reach...
Anthony was also extremely surprised, thinking back to the fact that in the [Cloud Chamber] just now, the trajectory of fog surged almost instantly, so fast that even the great wizards like them could not react. This was enough to prove that Lin En was not in the cloud room. Deliberate exaggeration!
"So you are planning to use this new particle to hit and destroy the shell of the element?" Harrov quickly thought of this.
Generally speaking, the faster an object is, the more destructive it is. The advantage of the Alpha element is that it is small enough, and it may be able to knock open the outer shell of the element and make it crack.
"No, I think the atom does not have a shell, everything about it is exposed..." Linn shook his head and said seriously.
"How is this possible?" Vittorio frowned and retorted. "All the elements are in motion all the time. If there was no protection from the outer shell, the contents inside would have been thrown out long ago..."
The wizards in the audience were also discussing and arguing. Linn's remarks were really outrageous. If this magic star had not proven his talent in magic research time and time again, someone would have stood up to refute it. .
In their imagination, the element should have a shape similar to a sphere, wrapped by an extremely hard shell, so as to protect the material inside from damage during the passage of time.
Facing everyone's questioning gazes, Lin En asked with a smile. "Composite elements also have no shell. Aren't they also able to survive for a long time?"
According to the current theory in the land of wizards, the reason why those composite elements can stick together firmly is because they are connected by something called the common bond of the elements, so they will not break away easily. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a chemical bond, just two The names are different between the worlds.
Hearing this, Vittorio and others were stunned for a moment, and then they began to think about whether there might be similar power inside the elements that could firmly bind the matter inside.
Lin En did not continue with a long explanation. His words were unfounded and the facts were the best evidence.
During this delay, Airok and others had already set up the experimental platform. In fact, they were going to use magic to float the gold foil in the center of the detection device.
Then put the lead box facing the gold foil, open a small hole at the front end, and place a certain amount of radium element inside. Since lead can effectively protect against radiation, alpha particles will only be emitted from the small hole in the lead box, forming a beam of high-energy particles. The rays hit the gold foil continuously.
The gold foil is surrounded by a ring-shaped detection device with fluorescent paint attached to it. It will emit light whenever it comes into contact with alpha particles, so that the movement of the particles can be determined.
As for why gold is used, of course it is because this thing is extremely extensible. Just 1 gram of natural gold can stretch out a gold wire that is several kilometers long. This can ensure that the elements that the rays pass through in a straight line are limited and the interference items will be eliminated. drop to lowest……
After roughly explaining the process of the experiment, Linn opened the hole in the lead box, and a beam of rays invisible to the naked eye immediately hit the gold foil.
Both alpha particles and gold atoms are very small and cannot be seen with the naked eye, but wizards naturally have wizard methods, especially the strong perception of great wizards, who can detect subtle changes at the atomic level.
After expanding the domain, the entire piece of gold foil changed in their eyes. The gold elements were arranged in an orderly manner, blocking the front like a solid wall.
However, this wall was not as strong as they imagined, because small dots quickly lit up on the detection device at the rear, which meant that the alpha particles directly passed through the gold foil and came into contact with the fluorescent substance at the rear.
"It went right through!" Harrov murmured softly. The position of the light spot was directly opposite the direction of the hole in the lead box, without any deviation.
Anthony, who also discovered this, couldn't help but frowned. This was different from what he had imagined.
You must know that alpha particles also have magnetic field reactions, which also means that if the other party comes into contact with positrons and negative electrons, they will also be disturbed.
