Let's say we are doing interference experiment via say a Mach-Zehnder
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach%E2...interferometer
In the Mach-Zehnder two of the mirrors are half silvered.
The photon has a 50% chance of passing through the half-silvered mirror and 50% chance of being reflected.
1. What happens if we make the mirror 3/4 silvered?
I.e. the photon has 25% chance of passing through and 75% chance of being reflected?
2. What happens if we make the mirror 1/4 silvered?
I.e. the photon has 75% chance of passing through and 25% chance of being reflected?
