A coherent beam of light strikes a single slit and pro­duces a spread-out diffraction pattern beyond. The number of photons detected per unit time at a detector in the very center of the pattern is X. Now two more slits are opened nearby, the same width as the original, equally spaced on either side of it, and equally well illuminated by the beam. How many photons will be detected per unit time at the center detector now? Why?
