When a single photon is produced by a point source, and detected by an array of detectors placed on the surface of a sphere around the point source, would only one of the detectors pick up the photon, or would only some of them pick it up, or would all of them pick it up, assuming no extraneous particles or fields are present to change the flow of the photon? I hope not to excite any semantic argument over what a point source might be or what an extraneous field or particle might be, but rather to address the question toward help in understanding the nature of photon, and of what a single photon is.
Thank you,
