I wasn't really addressing that point, as I mentioned.

Perhaps you can tell me what happens if the slits lead to separate
compartments; does the photon-wave only enter one?

A single photon with a specific energy when absorbed by an electron in
an atom, will cause that electron to jump to a specific energy level,
or if the photon has enough energy, it will cause the electron to be
emitted from the atom.
