Chapter 133 Experiment
To measure the speed of light with the eight-mirror method, the most important values to know are the distance between the rotating mirror and the reflection point, and the rotational speed of the rotating wheel when the light is successfully reflected again.
The reason why the light source has to be distanced is to prevent the light released by the light source from directly illuminating multiple mirrors.
The reason why the observation points have to be distanced is to increase the accuracy. The farther the observation point is, the more accurate the final measured data will be.
Because of this, the exact distance between the light source and the observer point does not need to be known.
Yarrow squatted down, looked at the refracted light through the gap of the stone, and then put a magic stone into the silver card slot extending from the speed wheel.
hum!
With the infusion of magic power, the eight-sided mirror began to rotate gradually.
Such a slow speed, relative to the speed of light, is almost the same as a static state.
Therefore, Yarrow can see the light again and again through the observation point.
This is the possible scene that Bosco imagined, and since this situation will appear in the low-speed state, isn't it also reasonable to wait for the fast state?
The rotating wheel in the middle rotates back and forth, and there will always be a few rays of light swaying randomly, which happen to shine on the position of the observation point, right?
Bosco admits that the principle explained by Yarrow is indeed reasonable in theory, but he still cannot overcome his own common sense. Unable to succeed.
These two contradictory conclusions have always puzzled him, and they have almost become a heart disease for him.
After seeing the picture in his imagination, Bosco put his hands in his arms and watched Yarrow's expression with great interest, hoping to see the tension on Yarrow's face.
He not only hopes that Yarrow can succeed, but also looks forward to Yarrow's failure to prove that his guess is right and wrong.
"If Yarrow fails, how can I comfort him later?"
Although he didn't want such a result, he just couldn't help thinking about it like this, and the facts proved that his long life was not in vain.
As for Olive?
Who has time for him.
Olive stood quietly aside, his eyes rolling, thinking about what reasons and excuses he would use later to get away with it.
Such things as digging graves at the entrance of the college must not be honestly explained.
Yarrow doesn't know what Olive thinks, let alone Bosco, and he hasn't figured out the reason until now, and he is still expecting his own failure.
He just calmly input magic power into the card slot, gradually speeding up the rotation speed of the eight-sided mirror in the middle.
not enough!
As the eight-sided mirror rotated faster and faster, the reflected light shone randomly from the top of the mountain, illuminating the towering giant tree behind them.
Just like a rotating electric fan, the actual blades will not be visible. After the speed reaches a certain level, the spot-like spots of light gradually become broken lines.
Not enough, not enough!
The rotation speed of the rotating compass continued to accelerate, and the broken rays of light slowly extended and gradually healed each other.
Hurry up, hurry up!
Finally, the broken light rays were connected together, and no traces of light spots could be seen anymore. The overall brightness of the space behind the few people increased a little.
Bosco looked at the shining towering giant tree, and finally couldn't help but say: "Yaro, forget it if you can't do it, I won't blame you."
Bosco thought that Yarrow had been trying to be brave, and that Yarrow was worried about his own blame, so he said in relief: "I said a long time ago that your first gear plan is the most likely to succeed."
Even if both methods fail, it is impossible for Bosco to take back what he sent out, that is to say, the original "sunk cost" will not disappear, and Bosco's attitude towards Yarrow will not change.
Bosco never said that Yarrow would be rewarded for his success.
The reason why he sent those things was because of Yarrow's way of thinking, and because of Yarrow's powerful talent in learning spells.
The failure of several separate experiments can only show that there are still some undiscovered properties in the light. As long as you have a strong thinking ability and adjust the experimental plan, you may be able to truly discover a 'new path'.
And the 'new road' is the most worth pursuing!
"Teacher, what are you talking about?" Yarrow looked up in surprise.
Could it be that you can only figure out the principle of the gear method, and still haven't understood the principle of the "eight mirror method"?
No way?
You are an old wizard who wrote a book and put it in the library!
Is thinking so bad?
As if he understood the meaning expressed in Yarrow's eyes, Bosco coughed a few times, a little embarrassed, and deliberately looked around and said, "Why hasn't your experiment succeeded yet?"
Yarrow looked at Bosco with weird eyes, pointed to the back and reminded: "Mentor, you can see that the back is getting brighter and brighter, which means it will be successful."
The back is getting brighter and brighter, which means that more and more light is passing through the reflection point, and the speed at this time is approaching the real demand.
"is it?"
Bosco looked at the light behind him suspiciously, still half understanding, but for the sake of his dignity as a 'teacher', he pretended to be satisfied, stroked his beard and praised: "Okay, very good, then Just keep going!"
amount……
You don't usually touch your beard, but if you do this now, doesn't it mean that you are guilty?
But in order to maintain the dignity of the teacher, Yarrow bowed his head pretending not to know, and continued to conduct his own experiments.
When the eight-sided mirror rotates, it is inevitable to lose a lot of light, so the reflected light beam will be much weaker than the static state. Yarrow must pay attention to this and seize the moment when the light appears.
Fortunately, there are many towering 'sound-absorbing balsa wood' behind Yarrow, and these 'sound-absorbing balsa wood' will act as a background wall, making an important reminder for the last critical time.
Speed up, speed up!
"Woooooooo..."
The rotating eight-sided mirror in the middle was getting faster and faster, and the cool night wind was blowing. Yarrow raised his head from time to time, watching the giant tree behind him and the observation point in front of him back and forth.
Suddenly, Yarrow's eyes lit up, looking at a spot of light that suddenly appeared behind him.
"Appeared!"
That light spot is the light spot that is reflected by eight identical planes. When the light spot always spits out to a position, there will naturally be a much brighter light spot at that position than the surrounding ones.
Just a little more, a little more...
Yarrow didn't dare to relax, and carefully added magic power to the silver card slot in his hand, making subtle adjustments to make it weakly accelerate.
With this process, the light spot gradually moved, and Yarrow quickly lowered his head, staring at the rotating eight-sided mirror from the observation point.
Swish!
Swish!
Suddenly, the light pierced the darkness, and through the narrow field of view of the observation point, it was reflected in Yarrow's eyes.
"Appeared!"
"Success!"
