ok thanks
now
how do you know it was a single photon
and not 4 6 or 10 photons ??

TIA

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?

Dear Mr Kinane

you are asking about entring one photon!!

while me and apparently you as well
do not know
what is** one** photon !!!
what is a single photon definition??

before starting walking we have to learn how to crawl
ist that ??

TIA

Agreed. But in so far as the standard experiment goes, if the slits lead
to separate compartments, does 'the wave' , to a greater extent than if
there is only one compartment, only enter one?

If you can somehow separate off the two paths at the slit exits, then there
is no way possible for the matter-wave to interact and you have reduced the
experiment to, again, a single slit. You will register the electron in one
or the other chamber.
