 ### Double slit experiment
 Particle model allows potential for photons to interact as they pass through slits. However, an interference pattern still appears when a dim light source is used so that only one photon can pass at a time.

 - predict wavelength of a particle with $\lambda = {h \over \rho}$ where $\rho = mv$
 - impossible to confirm de Broglie's theory of matter with double-slit experiment, since wavelengths are much smaller than for light, requiring an equally small slit ($< r_{\operatorname{proton}}$)

 - if a massy particle (e.g. electron) has a wavelength, then anything with a wavelength must have momentum
 - therefore photons have (theoretical) momentum
