We might set up an experiment at University shooting photons one per second through slits. I think this experiment was done long ago and proved that light was a wave that was everywhere in that the photon seem to trave through both slits at the same time.
But I read in the Halliday, Resnick and Walker textbook that we still do not know a lot about the photon. So my question is how can a machine shoot out 1 photon at a time?
A photon is not matter so it does not have size or mass. How do we know that the machine is shooting out 1 photon if the photon itself is a mystery?
Thanks
