Two-slit experiments performed earlier by Tsuchiya et al. and recently by Afshar et al. demonstrate the joint wave-particle properties of the single indiviual photon, and agree with Einstein's argument against Complementarity. These results cannot be explained by conventional theory in which Maxwell's equations serve as a guiding line and basis. On the other hand a revised quantum electrodynamic theory based on a nonzero electric field divergence in the vacuum yields results which appear to be consistent with the experiments. A model of the individual photon is thus deduced from the theory, ...
