In Example 4.2, neither |ψ|2p nor |ψ| arc given units— only proportionalities are used. Here we verify that the results are unaffected. The actual values given in the example are particle detection rates, in particles/second, or s-1. For this quantity, let us use the symbol R. It is true that the particle detection rate and the probability density will be proportional, so we may write |ψ|2 = bR, where b is the proportionality constant
(a) What must be the units of b?
(b) What is |ψT| at the center detector (interference maximum) in terms of the example’s given detection rate and b?
(c) What would be |ψ1|, |ψ1|2, and the detection rate R at the center detector with one of the slits blocked?
