E=hf IS NOT THE FORMULA OF A *SINGLE PHOTON ENERGY !!!** no one ever detected or measured the the real single photon energy and **NO ONE WILL EVER MEASURE IT!!** BECAUSE THE ENERGY OF THE SINGLE PHOTON (real single photon) IS ABOUT exp-70 joule !!! (what you measure in hf is a huge number of **single photons** and until you willnot understand it you will go on boggling the Balls to the rest of your life !! 2 th e Proton is not a sphere so there is no 'Radius of the Proton !!

You want experimental evidence if the particle exits on or both slits so you place detectors at the exits. The placing of detectors at the exits IS the experiment.

You mpc755 could learn a lot by just reading a serious physics book, such as the one by Feynman. I recommend you the volume 1 chapter 37 of the Feynman Lectures on Physics. Specifically the following sections: 37-2 An experiment with bullets 37-3 An experiment with waves 37-4 An experiment with electrons 37-5 The interference of electron waves 37-6 Watching the electrons Miguel Rios |
