You can see an example of the shadow of a ball bearing in laser light
near the bottom of this PDF.
http://grothserver.princeton.edu/~groth/phys102s02/lectures/lecture_07.pdf
Note the bright spot in the centre of the shadow and the rings.
Would this pattern also be obtained if the photons were supposedly sent
one at a time?

Yes. Photons have wavelike properties.
Y'know, Princeton is just about the worst place for understanding
physics that there is.
So where did Androcles go to learn physics? Oh, I forgot - he didn't
and still doesn't know jack about physics. His entire experience with
physics is summed up as getting an MBA and being a manager _of_
scientists rather than being a scientist himself.
