well the ball is going down before it hits the ground, and then goes up. So it's reasonable to believe that if it was spinning one direction before it will spin the other after it hits. This is due to the elastic recoil pushing it in the opposite direction it hit the ground with. I should do a video on this:)

No, neither monochromaticity, nor even (temporal) coherence are needed. Arago did it with a flame light. What you actually need is spatial coherence at the distances of the order of the diameter of the sphere, so that each wave packet arriving at the sphere is cylindrically symmetric with respect to the axis between the light source and the sphere. For this you can just make sure that your light source is small enough (e.g. emitted through a pinhole) and far enough away from the sphere (this doesn't have to be very far: a few dozens of sphere diameters should suffice if the pinhole is much smaller than the sphere).

A good model to see how this blocking works, is by looking at the fact, that atoms can absorb a photon. So if wavelength matches ths properties of the atom, the electrons of a arom take away the energy of a photon, if it comes near enough. So the photon will excite the atoms,and in return, it will be gone. Then the atom might release a new photon later, but in a random direction, or this energy just goes to heat. Also a photon can get reflected.

I'm a little confused. Light isn't actually going through the ball, it's just that the surface is causing interference on the light waves at the edge of the ball, causing them to scatter, and the waves that randomly converge on the center of the shadow create the point because they accumulate. Right? So that point is actually made up of light that's bent with interference, like a halo around the edge of the ball. Mistitled video!

Interesting. When light shines on the circular obstacle, Huygens' principle says that every point in the plane of the obstacle acts as a new point source of light. The light coming from points on the circumference of the obstacle and going to the center of the shadow travels exactly the same distance, so all the light passing close by the object arrives at the screen in phase and constructively interferes. This results in a bright spot at the shadow's center, where geometrical optics and particle theories of light predict that there should be no light at all. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arago_spot

If you treat light as ONLY particles, they might curve around, but they wouldn't shoot STRAIGHT OUT behind the object. And that's what this is about. They behave like waves, but we can measure a single photon and get a position and spin just like any other particle.

You can explain effects like photoelectric effect and compton effect with particle theory of light but u can't explain diffraction, interference and polarization. At the same time these effects (diffraction, interference and polarization)can be explained by wave nature of light but u can't explain photoelectric effect and compton effect with wave nature.

Isn't this simply due to diffraction of light around the sphere's edges and interference pattern forming on the screen. The brightest spot is in the centre of the shadow because that is the position of the interference pattern's principal maxima. Light doesn't pass thru the centre of the sphere, it diffracts around it's edges since the sphere is small (which is a needed condition for appreciable diffraction) and the diffracted waves interfere with each other and form multiple maxima and minima with the principal maxima forming at the centre.

The amount of photons in a beam of light is dependent entirely on the intensity of that beam. As we saw in this video, the brightness of light is a direct function of the quantity of photons reaching a certain point. As for the “FPS of real life”, the best I can come up with for that is the FPS if the shutter was to rotate at lightspeed. If the sensor of the camera was around 1cm, then the shutter would have to be at least that large in radius. At a radius of 1 cm, the circumference would be 2pi or 6.283185cm, which is 0.06283185m. lightspeed or 299,792,458 m/s of tangential velocity means that the shutter would rotate about 4,771,345,000 times each second, taking two frames with each rotation. Therefore, the “FPS of real life” is roundabout 9,542,691,000 frames per second, assuming a 1cm shutter.

I'm a sailor, and something similar but opposite happens with ocean waves and islands. you can have a large sea running and a small island in it's path, and when you get behind the island, it's calm. Go on Google Earth and you can see what happens: The waves refract around the island and when they meet, at certain points they cancel each other out. This is destructive interference. The opposite can also happen, with waves doubling in size when they superimpose on each other in certain phase states. This often happens around artificial breakwaters and steep beaches as waves reflect and reform from the opposite direction. This can range from uncomfortable to downright dangerous, as such phenomena are difficult to predict. Like you said - it's a function of probability, not a certainty.
