Chapter 536 251: It's a Mess, the Entire 19th Century is in Chaos! (7.4K)_4

1847.

Faraday proposed that light is a high-frequency electromagnetic vibration, which can propagate without a medium.

If you extend time from the perspective of later generations, you will also find.....

It was based on this theory that Wheat discovered the phenomenon that self-generated electromagnetic waves propagate at a constant speed.

And this speed happens to equal the speed of light, leading to the conclusion that light is an electromagnetic wave.

Now learning that Xu Yun actually could provide evidence to refute the wave theory, how could Faraday remain calm?

So after entering the shed, his first sentence was:

"Student Luo Feng, is what you said true? You can provide evidence to refute the wave theory?"

Looking at this handsome older gentleman with pronounced features, Xu Yun's eyes showed a hint of respect, and he affirmed:

"Yes, Mr. Lafayette, Fat Fish Ancestor discovered certain phenomena by accident during the study of electrolysis."

"Later, through further research, he discovered some... um, very interesting things."

Faraday raised an eyebrow:

"Very interesting things?"

Xu Yun nodded, a trace of excitement swirling in his heart.

The current dungeon timeline is a bit off, so.....

I'll just add fuel to the fire and cause another stir in the scientific community!

With this in mind.

Xu Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath and said to Faraday:

"Professor Faraday, before the experiment begins, I have a question I'd like to ask you first."

Faraday glanced at him, gesturing for him to speak:

"Go ahead."

"How fast is the speed of light?"

"The speed of light?"

Faraday blinked, although he didn't quite understand why Xu Yun asked this question, he quickly said:

"212,000 kilometers per second, this is the value calculated by Mr. Huygens. It is also the answer currently recognized by the academic world."

"Additionally, Mr. Newton also suggested in 'Optics' that light can circle the Earth 16.6 times in one second, which also converts to around that number."

Xu Yun glanced at the handsome older gentleman, remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Faraday, this figure is incorrect."

Faraday was taken aback:

"Incorrect?"

Xu Yun turned his head, glanced at the already set up scene, and gave Faraday a slight smile:

"Yes, Mr. Lafayette, so the first mistake we need to correct tonight is...."

"The speed of light."

......

He and Wheat both personally experienced that night assault, so their understanding and trust in Xu Yun were far above the ordinary. And without saying anything else, merely based on Xu Yun figuring out his Morse code during the night assault, Thomson was sure Xu Yun couldn't possibly be an illiterate who has never received basic education. Now, seeing the calmness on Xu Yun's face, Thomson naturally felt more confident. An hour later, another person appeared in the small shed, Michael Faraday. In the future world where Xu Yun had traveled from, a certain girl group once released a well-received song, which included a well-known lyric: "You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth." From this lyric, it is not difficult to see that there is an inseparable connection between electricity and light. Therefore, as the soul of the Second Industrial Revolution, Faraday naturally had a very in-depth study on Guangxu. For instance, in 1845, he discovered that when polarized light passed through a transparent medium subjected to a magnetic field, polarization rotation would occur. This phenomenon was later known as the Faraday effect, which for the first time discovered the relationship between light and electromagnetism. Then in 1846, Faraday also hypothesized that light might be a form of disturbance propagated along magnetic field lines. 1847.
