The hypothesis of brane-embedded matter appears to gain increasing credibility in astrophysics. However, it can only be truly successful if its implications on particle interaction are consistent with existing knowledge. This letter focuses on the issue of optical interference, and shows that at least one brane-world model can offer plausible interpretations for both Young's double-slit experiment, and the experiments that fit less neatly with it. The basic assumption is that particles can interact at a distance through the vibrations induced by their motion on the brane. The qualitative analysis of this mechanism suggests that fringe visibility in single photon interference depends on the energy levels and the interval between interacting particles. A double-slit experiment, performed with coherent single red photons should reveal the disappearance of interference when the time delay between individual particles is increased over 2.18 seconds. In the case of infrared photons with the frequency of $9\cdot 10^{13}$ Hz, interference must vanish already at the interval of one second.
