Chapter 587: 508

Anthony’s words brought the particle advocates among the Wizards, who had been celebrating their victory, to an abrupt halt.

“Master Anthony, are you certain?” one of the Wizards who supported the wave theory stood up excitedly, then hesitated. “But how is that possible?”

Clearly, even he was not entirely convinced by this claim.

What are electromagnetic waves? They are a type of wave phenomenon produced by the alternating changes of electric and magnetic fields.

The entire kingdom’s communication system relies on the application of electromagnetic waves, so Wizards who specialize in electricity are not unfamiliar with them.

Because of this, they found it unbelievable; if, according to Anthony, light is an electromagnetic wave, then when they communicated, there should have been a very obvious light wave present!

“To be precise, light is a kind of electromagnetic wave that exists within a specific frequency band.” Anthony raised his tone slightly, silencing the chaotic voices of doubt in the audience, before continuing his explanation. “Other frequencies of electromagnetic waves can’t be seen by our eyes simply because they are not within the visible spectrum!”

“Do you mean that light waves are like sound waves?” Harrov thought for a moment and quickly grasped the underlying meaning in Anthony’s words.

Because there is something quite similar that they are all very familiar with—the sound waves produced by the vibration of objects!

Due to the limitations of the human ear, people can only hear sound waves with frequencies between twenty and twenty thousand hertz. Once the frequency goes beyond or falls below this range, the sound becomes inaudible.

As for the hertz, it is a measure of the number of periodic changes per second, and this is described in detail in Lynn’s “The Secret of Sound—The Principle of Resonance.” It is said to be named after a scholar who studied sound waves in the Secret Magic Society and has since passed away.

“Exactly!” Anthony nodded. “Based on my experiments, the frequency of visible light is around four hundred to seven hundred hertz.”

“That means we can totally create light by emitting electromagnetic waves!”

“Just like this!” As Anthony raised his hand, the electric and magnetic fields alternated, and a dazzling beam of light shot out from his fingertips.

“Light, it really is light!” The wizards of the particle school watched the scene in shock, their faces turning pale, because this meant that Anthony was not lying—light indeed was an electromagnetic wave.

Expressions of disbelief also spread across Sanchez and Alade’s faces.

Lynn, on the other hand, was very interested in Anthony’s technique of rapidly alternating electromagnetic fields to emit light beams. This meant that in the future, using the Laser Technique could save many steps, thereby greatly increasing the initiation speed of light-based Magic.

This is also precisely where the need for the development of magical studies lies; as long as he pointed out a direction, there was always someone formidable who could innovate. Otherwise, if it were only up to him to magically transform all the various scientific theories and unearth their potential, he would be utterly exhausted.

“I assume the Chairpersons can now draw a conclusion, right?” Jeffrey said with a smile.

Anthony’s research was undoubtedly the most direct evidence for the wave theory. Even Sanchez could not deny the fact that light is an electromagnetic wave!

The only thing that Jeffrey slightly regretted was that there was only one Corona Medal to be divided between two people, and it might be broken down into several Silver Moon Medals. This way, he might miss out on the highest honor in the magical world!

“Wait… Chairpersons, I still have a question!” Just as Jeffrey was pondering, Alade suddenly stood up and interjected. “If light is a wave, then how can its particle nature be explained?”

Jeffrey replied impatiently. “Those are just minor details. The fact is right in front of us; you can’t deny that light is an electromagnetic wave, can you? As for the mysteries of light waves, they can’t be fully understood in just a few months. If we continue to study along the right path, these issues will all be resolved one day!”

Harrov, seated in the judge’s position, also nodded in agreement. It was more important first to clear up the fundamental nature of light and resolve the Casting Barrier for lightning Wizards, with further research coming later.

However, Alade was relentless. “Even if light is an electromagnetic wave, how can you prove that electromagnetic waves aren’t made up of particles?”

“You know that all waves require a medium to propagate, but electromagnetic waves do not. I’ve long suspected they’re not true waves, but particles!”

Alade’s bold assertion baffled Anthony.

Electromagnetic waves as particles?

What a joke—that’s something that propagates in the form of waves!

However, this explanation gave the particle theory Wizards a chance to regroup. After all, particle theory can explain the phenomena of light interference and diffraction. But neither Sanchez nor Anthony could explain the principles of pinhole imaging with wave theory.

So perhaps, electromagnetic waves… are particles, too!

The grand hall, which accommodated thousands of people, quickly became a hubbub of arguments and discussions.

Harrov, Aurora, and Vittorio, seated as judges, were all frowning deeply. They had thought that this dispute would come to an end when Anthony proposed that light was an electromagnetic wave. However, when Alade suddenly spoke up, they were thrown into doubt once again.

“If there is no other convincing evidence to prove that light is a particle, then I believe that Master Jeffrey and Master Anthony’s wave theory are more in line with the true nature of light,” Harrov said thoughtfully. Being an expert in Force Field Magic, he naturally leaned more towards the wave theory.
