Young's double slit experiments representing the mystery of quantum mechanics have been descripted by wave theories. To study the mystery, the double slit experiments were extended to the cross-double slit experiments. A description should explain all the double slit and cross-double slit experiments consistently. To test the wave description, the two postulates are proposed, which state that before passing through the double slit and before landing on the detector, photons behave as particles, but not as waves. To test the two postulates, the comprehensive double slit/cross-double slit experiments are proposed and performed. By placing shields and/or blockers near the detector/screen, the comprehensive double slit/cross-double slit experiments show that the fringes are created independently and partially, which discloses the particle nature of photons in the double slit/crossdouble slit experiments and violates the wave descriptions. The comprehensive double slit/cross-double slit experiments provide the comprehensive phenomena for developing theoretical model to study the mystery of double slit, complementarity principle, wave-particle duality, and wave theory of light.

Young's double slit experiments representing the mystery of quantum mechanics have been described by wave theories and Bohm's trajectory theory. By placing shields/blockers near the detector /screen, the comprehensive double slit/cross-doble slit experiments show that the fringes are created independently and partially, which violates the wave description. In this article we show that by placing the shields contacting the slide of the double slit, the comprehensive experiments show: (1) the existence of trajectories/photons immediately next to the double slit; and (2) the trajectories cross, which violate the prediction of the computer simulation of Bohm's trajectory theory. The comprehensive double slit/cross-double slit experiments violate both wave theory and trajectory theory. The comprehensive double slit/cross-double slit experiments provide the comprehensive phenomena/data for developing theoretical model to study the mystery of double slit, complementarity principle, wave-particle duality, wave theory and trajectory theories.
Young’s double slit experiments, which represent the mystery of quantum mechanics (Feynman), have been described by optics, electromagnetic wave theory, quantum wave theory and Bohm’s trajectory theory. The double slit has the varieties of the applications. To test the description theories, we perform the comprehensive double slit experiments, which show that (1) before passing through the double slit/cross-double slit and before landing on the screen, the laser light behaves as particles, not as waves; (2) the experiments challenge the computer simulation of the trajectory theory at near field, however support the trajectory theory at far field. Those novel phenomena provide the comprehensive information for further theoretical development and applications.

Young’s double slit experiments have been descripted by wave theories, i.e., before and after passing a double slit, the light is waves. Now, we extend the double slit experiments to the comprehensive double slit experiments by utilizing Shield (showing the light is not wave), Metal tube (showing the light is not EM waves), Blocker (showing the light is particles), combination of Shield and Blocker (showing the light is particles), Photon-Chamber (showing the light is particles which produce both non-interference patterns and interference patterns), and Lens (showing the light is particles which produce non-wave and wave patterns). We propose two Postulates: “Postulate on light: light is photons before and after passing through double slit” and “Postulate on lens: light behaves same before and after passing through lens”. Then, we show the novel phenomena of the comprehensive double slit experiments: (1) the light is photons before and after passing through a double slit; (2) photons form both the non-interference patterns and the interference patterns; (3) the non-interference patterns gradually evolve to the interference patterns in the same experiment. We refer to the novel phenomena as “PhotoWave phenomena” that are universal. The comprehensive double slit experiments provide the novel phenomena for developing theoretical model further to study: (1) the nature of the light; (2) the Feynman’s mystery of the double slit; (3) the wave-particle duality; and (4) the wave theories of the light; (5) applications. A complete description should explain all the comprehensive double slit experiments consistently.

To test the wave description, we extend the double slit experiments to the comprehensive double slit experiments by utilizing Shield, Metal tube, Blocker, Combination of Shield and Blocker with two triangle cuts, Photon-Chamber, and Lens. We propose both “Postulate on light: light is photons before and after passing through double slit” and “Postulate on lens: light behaves same before and after passing through lens”. Then, we show the novel phenomena of the comprehensive double slit experiments: (1) the light is photons, not waves, before and after passing through a double slit; (2) it is the photons that form both the non-interference patterns and interference patterns; (3) the non-interference patterns gradually evolve to the interference patterns in the same experiment. We refer to the novel phenomena as “PhotoWave phenomena” that are universal. The comprehensive double slit experiments provide the novel phenomena for developing theoretical model further to study: (1) the nature of the light; (2) the Feynman’s mystery of the double slit; (3) the wave-particle duality; (4) the wave theories of the light; (5) the quantum theory of matter. A complete explanation is demanded and should describe all the comprehensive double slit experiments consistently.
