If we let one by one photon hit this grid, the
great majority will be detected on these narrow
lines, and not between them. So it appears that
each and every photon must "know" the width of
the grating.



This is all 'classical' speculation.


Speculation?
It is the result of a lot of experiments.

For a grating, all photons of the same intrinsic wavelength will be deflected
by the same amount.


No.
The lines are not infinitely narrow,
and there are a number of them.


The line spacing is of the same order as the wavelength of visible light.

There is no fundamental difference between
a grating an a double slit.


There is.
.....you should know how the pattern changes as the number of slits is
increased.

In a double slit, there is a probability that they willl go off in different
directions.


Right. Just like for a grating.


But there are so many lines that only one direction supports reinforcement of a
particular wavelength.

My ballistic model, when complete, will explain why.


Quite.

Rome wasn't built in a day...

BTW, have you read/seen "Vildanden" ("Wild Duck") by Ibsen?
You remind me of Hjalmar Ekdal. :-)

Why are you obsessed with 'failure' Paul. ...are you disappointed in your own
achievements?

I'm quite content with mine...




Do you know of any experiment in which ONE single photon was used to illuminate
a grating?


Still no answer?
The question was:
So how big is your "particle" spanning over the whole grating?
And how can this huge "particle" hit at one pixel only?


I have told you. A photon has infinite influence...but its strength drops off
very rapidly with distance.

You should get used to the idea of a photon having a 'half radius' and 'half
length'.
Until more information about photon structure is forthcoming, I will not try to
define these terms accurately
......but you should understand the general principle, since you are so well
versed in physics..



But of course, if you weren't, it wouldn't be.



One day Norway might catch up with the rest of the advanced world.


I can understand your envy.
