Two Slit cont'd

Here's a few more pics of the double slit experiment. At left is what was expected to occur. Single photons contacting the rear plate in and around the ajacent openings. At right is what actually occurred. The resulting pattern requires contact between mulitple photon particles which was impossible since only a single photon at a time was propelled through the slits. As more and more particles contacted the light sensitive back plate, the interference waves began to emerge. Doh!
