Double Slit Experiments Invalidating Wave-Particle Duality and Showing That Wavefunction Is Simply Useful Tool in Certain Zone, and not Representing Something Real in Quantum Mechanics
Recently, Nature magazine made a survey about how Physicists think of what quantum mechanics says about reality. The survey shows that 47% of respondents consider the wavefunction in the quantum mechanics representing simply a useful tool, and 36% respondents consider the wavefunction representing something real. In this article we show that the double slit experiments support the opinion of 47% of respondents. It is the standard understanding that the double slit experiment shows that the light is waves, not particles. The photoelectric experiment shows that the light is particles. The two experiments show the conceptually different natures of the light and thus led to the wave-particle duality of the light. To thoroughly study the real nature of the light in the double slit experiments, we utilizing the Photon-chamber, Shield, Blocker, Lenses and Metal tubes respectively. We observed the following phenomena in the same double slit experiments: the light is photons, not waves; and it is the photons that produce both the non-interference patterns in Zone-0, Zong-1 and Zone-2, and the interference patterns in Zone-3. We suggest that the observed phenomena: (1) invalidate the wave-particle duality; (2) show that the wavefunction is simply a useful mathematical tool to describe the wave phenomena in Zone-3; (3) show that the wavefunction cannot be utilized to describe the no-wave phenomena in Zone-0, Zong-1 and Zone-2; (4) support the particle reality of quantum mechanics.

To thoroughly study the real nature of the light in the double slit experiments, we utilizing added Photon-chamber, Shield, Blocker, Lenses, and Metal tubes respectively. We observed the following phenomena in the same double slit experiments: (1) the light is photons before and after passing through the double slit, not waves; and (2) it is the photons that produce both the non-interference patterns in Zone-0, Zong-1 and Zone-2, and the interference patterns in Zone-3 (referred to it as “PhotoWave phenomena”). The observed phenomena show that: (1) the wave-particle duality is invalid; (2) the wavefunction is simply a useful mathematical tool to describe the interference-pattern in Zone-3; (3) the wavefunction cannot be utilized to describe the no-wave phenomena in Zone-0, Zong-1, Zone-2, and Zone-3; (4) support the particle reality of quantum mechanics.
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 wves), 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.
