I have a simple question about the double slit experiment for which I couldn't find an answer elsewhere.
Lets say that I shoot one million photons from the source while keeping only the first slit open and that I detect N1 photons on the screen behind the slits. If I now shoot one million photons while keeping only the second slit open I detect N2 photons (N1 and N2 should be pretty close). If I now open both slits and I shoot one million photons how many photons should I detect? N1+N2 or considerably less?
Thanks!
