As the best university in the UK, Cambridge University naturally has many top scholars.
Many of these scholars have received royal canonization based on various merits, and can have the title of "Sir" in front of their names.
Even those who have not been awarded honors, most of them are fellows of various societies such as the Royal Society, the Royal Literary Society, the Royal Astronomical Society, etc., and they can also use titles that symbolize honor.
They are all more or less related to the royal family, so when the second prince of the old King George V was getting married, the train station in Cambridgeshire was crowded with famous teachers who wanted to take the train to London to attend the wedding. .
If a train derails on the railway by accident, it is likely to rewrite the development trajectory of various disciplines such as the history of human science, literature, and philosophy.
Many people from the Cavendish Laboratory have also left, leaving only Assistant Research Director Chadwick, who is responsible for managing the group of students who remain in the laboratory. They must not be allowed to cause trouble during the royal celebration. What a big trouble.
By the way, Chadwick is already the sixth Nobel Prize winner that Chen Muwu has met after time travel, after Thomson Sr., the dean of Trinity College.
Kapitsa and Blackett found a gamma ray source and are using the gamma rays emitted by it to bombard the graphite plate, trying to find the trajectory of the recoil electrons in the cloud chamber, and record it on the film through photography technology .
No matter who among them felt that this would be an amazing discovery, they were full of fighting spirit and confidence.
Because Rutherford was busy with various preparations before the royal wedding and had no time to take care of Chen Muwu, he could only tell him that he would arrange experiments for him after the Duke of York's wedding.
So in the past few days, Chen Muwu had nothing to do. He didn't know where he bought a lot of lead plates. He held a hammer at the door of the laboratory and kept banging on it like a vicious blacksmith.
Kapitsa was tired from the experiment and occasionally went out to smoke to relieve his fatigue. When he saw Chen Muwu wielding a hammer and hitting the lead plate, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Chen, what are you doing?"
"I'm building myself a suit of armor that fits me well. After I put it on and become a knight, I can be invited to attend royal weddings!"
Talking about people and talking nonsense when seeing ghosts, Chen Muwu couldn't help but make a joke when facing the joke-loving Kapitsa.
He is not a citizen of the Great Empire, so he does not have such a strong desire to see their master get married, and then be so moved that he burst into tears.
"It was just a joke. To be honest, I always feel that the penetrating power of gamma rays is too strong, and it would not be a good thing for the human body to be exposed to it for a long time.
"That's why I found lead plates that are the most difficult for gamma rays to penetrate. I feel like I can feel more at ease when I put them on my body when I enter the laboratory."
There is no need to hide secrets from his colleagues in the next few years. Chen Muwu plans to promote his lead radiation-proof suit to the entire laboratory after it is completed.
After hearing Chen Muwu's answer, Kapitsa didn't take it seriously at all. He felt that Chen Muwu was unfounded.
So he teased: "Chen, you are just too cautious. Gamma rays are no different from the light around you. They are just electromagnetic waves. I have never seen you look like an aristocratic woman in the old days when you pass by under the sun." Same, put on a parasol?"
After he finished speaking, the tobacco in Kapitsa's pipe had burned out, and he took out the tobacco bag he carried with him, intending to fill it with a new pipe.
"Smoking less is not good for your health."
Chen Muwu once again kindly advised.
Kapitsa wanted to tell him a few more jokes about tobacco, but when he thought of which country Chen Muwu came here from, he immediately shut his mouth obediently.
Kapitsa resealed the opened tobacco bag in his hand, then left, turned around and entered the laboratory again.
…
When Rutherford returned to Cambridgeshire from London with a group of his colleagues and disciples, Chen Muwu's lead plate radiation protection suit was almost inseparable.
Chen Muwu's suits were all tailor-made for him by his eldest brother from the top tailors in the Sihai Concession.
After wearing the lead plate on his body, Chen Muwu could no longer wear these suits. He had to put on the wide robe and long sleeves issued by Trinity College. When he walked, he looked like someone from a painting by Wu Daozi. The characters who came out of.
However, in the near future, Chen Muwu will have little chance to wear this radiation protection suit.
Because as soon as Rutherford returned to Cambridge, he began to help Chen Muwu plan and prepare for his experiment.
At first, Rutherford was worried that Chen Muwu would make excessive demands on the experimental equipment.
Although the Cavendish Laboratory has a very high prestige around the world, in 1923, the total annual budget of the entire laboratory was less than nine thousand pounds, which also included the salaries of several professors and staff.
However, what reassured Rutherford was that Chen Muwu did not ask for any expensive and sophisticated equipment.
He said that all he needed was a dark room facing the sun, a few liquid containers made of high-transparency glass, a few monochromatic filters, a few pieces of uranium glass, and a spectrometer.
The items mentioned by Chen Muwu are all ready-made in the Cavendish Laboratory, and there is no need to purchase additional equipment or make new equipment.
However, while having people provide these instruments and props to Chen Muwu, Rutherford also secretly wondered, what does he want these ubiquitous optical instruments for?
Could it be that China, located in the Far East, is so poor that it cannot even afford these equipments?
If this is the case, why does Chen Muwu look like a young man from a wealthy family, no matter how he dresses or behaves?
Of course it was not what Rutherford thought. In fact, Chen Muwu could perfectly replicate this experiment in China.
But when he was in China, his mind was filled with Compton scattering and Einstein's gravitational field equations, and he completely ignored the existence of this experiment.
It wasn't until a few weeks ago that Chen Muwu suddenly thought of Rayleigh scattering when he was sailing on the ship Enreholidu on the blue Indian Ocean. Looking at the blue light reflected by the sea, Chen Muwu suddenly thought of Rayleigh scattering.
When he thought of Rayleigh scattering, he thought of Raman scattering that he had learned and done in the two professional courses of "History of Physics" and "Modern Physics Experiments" respectively.
On the ship, Chen Muwu would occasionally write and draw on paper when he was awake. It was this principle and formula of Raman scattering.
Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, a British Indian whose caste is the noblest Brahmin, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930, was the first physicist from India and even Asia to win the Nobel Prize in Physics scientist. 【1】
However, in this time and space, it would be difficult for him to be the first to win this honor, after all, because now, Chen Muwu appeared out of thin air.
