An idea of interpretation of quantum interference in classical terms is presented. Classical propagation of an electron through a slit in a perfectly conducting screen is considered. The change of the electron trajectory under influence of a nearby slit in the same screen is evaluated. The goal of this study is to see whether the influence of the second slit on the electron trajectory can be interpreted as interference in quantum mechanics.
