But we show in this paper, this interpretation is inconsistent with the fact that the interference pattern represents the relative intensity distribution of the scatter- ing lights from a screen or that of the electric current in a photoelectric device. Through analyses for two typical cases of interference, we also show that the wave interpretation leads to violation of the law of energy conservation. An experimental scheme is proposed for verification. We con- clude that, light never interferes in any wave and that in particular single photon never interferes itself; light is essentially not relevant to wave.
