Abstract An experiment has been conducted to test the speculation that “empty” waves suffer attenuation in their propagation relative to waves which carry singularities. This speculation leads to the prediction that the contrast of interference fringes should decrease exponentially with free independent path length. A double-slit experiment has been carried out in which the distance between the slits and the observation plane has been varied over a wide range. High contrast interference fringes have been recorded and the contrast measured as a function of distance between the slits and the observation plane. No convincing evidence is found for attentuated “empty” waves.
