Chapter 73 Wang Luyao instructs Xu Qitai
When Li Qiwei said that gamma rays and X-rays are electromagnetic waves, no one thought he was joking.
Even if it is just a prophecy, it is worth studying in this direction by those present.
This is a bit like the academician bosses of later generations, who can decide the use of hundreds of millions of scientific research funds with just a few words.
It relies on academic status and authority.
Li Qiwei is now considered to have this qualification.
Many people even took the initiative to make assumptions about his words.
“Oh, God, Bruce is not secretly studying radioactivity, right? Does he want to have both theory and experiment, with both hands strong?”
“Why does he have so many? In order to do experiments, I sometimes don’t even have enough time to sleep.”
“Maybe this is genius. We have been working hard for decades just to save him an afternoon tea.”
"Sunny Beach!"
Under the eager eyes of everyone, he slowly walked off the stage, leaving the home court to Rutherford.
The way Xu Qitai looked at Li Qiwei was as if he were encountering a rare treasure, and he was scared to the core.
As for Wang Luyao, she smiled and gave him a thumbs up secretly. This was the first time she saw Li Qiwei's academic influence.
In the past, in China, we saw foreigners being arrogant and discriminating against Chinese people.
Now Li Qiwei is in the lofty field of science, and is being pursued and shocked by foreigners, which really subverts her imagination.
The little witch was secretly happy, she was indeed the man she had chosen, he was so outstanding that he was dazzling.
Then, Mr. Curie took the stage to continue presiding over the meeting and highly praised Li Qiwei’s speech, saying that he added a touch of brightness to the meeting.
The big guys continued to share their research results, and the atmosphere of the meeting became more enthusiastic.
At this time, Li Qiwei did not notice that Anders in the corner clenched his hands, became angry, and stared at him with resentful eyes.
The calmer Li Qiwei became, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Anders himself has become a joke by stealing the chicken but losing the rice. This can be seen from the alienation of everyone from him.
Serious scholars have a contemptuous attitude towards the second-generation scholars who are opportunistic and rely on connections.
Soon, today's meeting will end, but there are still two days of special reports.
But Li Qiwei is not going to participate. He has to rush to Belgium to meet with Solvay in advance to arrange a meeting for young scholars.
More importantly, he was specially invited to come. If he was too pushy, he would be a bit unnoticed.
After all, he is not in this small circle yet. No one likes people who don’t know how to measure things, even physicists.
Mr. Curie understood him and helped him get to know each other with several big guys present.
Li Qiwei behaved very modestly and left a good impression on everyone.
Becquerel joked: "Bruce, you don't really want to participate in radioactive research, do you?"
Li Qiwei smiled and said: "Professor, I think the study of atomic structure is the general direction of future physics, and no physicist can avoid it."
"So, it's not that I want to study it, it's that it took the initiative to find me. . ”
Many big guys laughed at what he said. They liked this young man who was neither arrogant nor arrogant very much.
At this time, Madame Curie on the side said resentfully: "Bruce, you went to Belgium to hold a conference for young scholars, why didn't you tell me earlier."
"Otherwise, I will go there at the end of the month Germany’s report plan has been postponed.”
"Do you think I am old and do not belong to the youth?"
Li Qiwei suddenly felt a headache. Regarding the age of women, it is an absolute taboo, so he quickly explained: "Madam, I really informed everyone at the same time Human."
"It's just the first time, so I have no experience and it's a bit hasty." "Don't worry, I will notify you as soon as possible if there is another time."
Finally, Ridgway and Rutherford exchanged a few more words and prepared to leave for Belgium, while Rutherford had to wait until the radiology conference was over before going there.
On the train from Paris to Brussels, Ridgway and the others admired the vast pastoral scenery outside the window.
Wang Luyao was chirping, looking extremely excited.
Xu Qitai lowered his head and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wang Luyao saw that he had been silent, so he wanted to tease him, "Hey, Qitai, what are you thinking about, so serious."
"You also need to have more contact with nature. , study every day, be careful you will become stupid later.”
Xu Qitai raised his head when he heard this and smiled, "Sister Lu Yao, I'm thinking about Brother Qiwei's conclusion. How can we prove that X-rays are electromagnetic waves?"
This kid is very ambitious. He thinks Gamma rays are far less famous than X-rays. If I could prove that X-rays are waves, wouldn't I be able to achieve one-third of Chivigo's achievements?
When the time comes, let’s see if He Yujie and Xia Yuanzhen still dare to laugh at themselves for being at the bottom.
Thinking of this, Xu Qitai couldn't help but smile, looking like a fool.
Wang Luyao was stunned when he saw that he was almost crazy, and his character of being a teacher started again, "Qitai, you have to rely on me to give you guidance."
"Since you want to prove that X-rays are waves, then just study them according to the phenomenon of waves."
"Didn't your brother Li say before that because who discovered the diffraction phenomenon of light, it was proved Is light an electromagnetic wave? "
"Then you just need to make the X-rays diffract. You can also do a double-slit experiment to see if there will be bright streaks. "
Ouch!
As soon as Wang Luyao finished speaking, Xu Qitai looked at her in shock. Could it be that Sister Luyao was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, a hidden academic master?
Li Qiwei was also slightly moved and turned to look at her, thinking that Xiao Nizi would be fine.
Although the physical common sense is still a bit lacking, with full marks for logic, this research idea should indeed be followed.
Xu Qitai's eyes shone, even with a hint of unrealistic expectation, "But Sister Lu Yao, someone tried to make X-rays diffract, but failed."
" It seems to be different from our common visible light.”
“Do you have any good ideas?”
Without thinking, Wang Luyao came up with his last clue, "Try more. Doesn't diffraction require the size of the gap? Narrow the gap and see."
Xu Qitai was disappointed in the end. If X-rays are If you want to create a wave, its wavelength must be very short, and the gap size required is extremely small, which is definitely not possible now.
“Hey, Sister Lu Yao, I think so too, but the current technical means cannot artificially create such a narrow gap.”
Wang Luyao spread his hands, “It can’t be artificially created, then Just go and look for it in nature. The world is so big and you can’t find anything.”
“That’s your business, Qitai, try your best.” After saying that, she started to enjoy the scenery again.
Xu Qitai sighed slightly, his heart was broken, was he about to wake up from the sweet dream he had just had?
What the two of them didn’t know was that at this moment, Li Qiwei’s heart was in a state of turmoil.
In real history, Laue discovered the diffraction phenomenon of X-rays by using natural crystals as gratings.
Because the atomic arrangement of natural crystals is very regular, the gaps between atoms exactly match the wavelength of X-rays, and diffraction can occur.
Wang Luyao was right, it can’t be made artificially, nature does!
The two of them probably never imagined that a simple conversation would almost win them the Nobel Prize in Physics.
