Abstract
We model photons as being rigid bodies. Based only on Newtonian mechanics, we reproduce numerically the Fresnel Diffraction Experiment. In this way, a large number of rigid bodies are thrown against a single slit. The rigid bodies used are spherical and their center of mass and centroid are not coincident. Thus, each rigid body describes a cycloid (presenting amplitude, frequency and phase - as well as the DeBroglie wave). The numerical results indicate a wave pattern relatively similar to those achieved by experimental results. Different apertures and depths of the slit were tested.
