Abstract

We experimentally show novel phenomena: (1) in the same double slit or cross double slit experiment, within macroscopic distances from diaphragm, the patterns are non-interference and gradually evolve to the interference patterns near/on the screen; (2) in the same single slit or cross single slit experiment, within macroscopic distances from diaphragm, the patterns are non-diffraction and gradually evolve to the diffraction patterns near/on the screen; (3) in the same non-parallel-two-slits experiment, within macroscopic distances from diaphragm, the patterns are non-diffraction and gradually evolve to the diffraction-interference-hybrid patterns; (4) the diffraction-interference-hybrid patterns depend on the angle between two slits. Those novel phenomena: (1) challenge the conventional light wave interpretations of the physical optics, the electromagnetic wave and the quantum probability waves, namely, those interpretations are incomplete; (2) challenging Bohr’s complementarity principle and the wave-particle duality; (3) suggest that it is the photon-photon interaction, instead of the wave-wave interference, that produces the phenomena. To interpret consistently above phenomena is the challenge and demands new theory.
