Does Double Slit Detection Rate Change when Path Is Known vs. Unknown?

Is the overall rate of particle detections you will obtain in a classic double slit experiment dependent on whether the experiment is set up to cause an interference pattern or not? Another way of ask …

Double Slit Thought Experiment to Account for the Particles that Don't Go Through the Slits

I've come up with a thought experiment to help myself understand the classic double slit test, and specifically to understand what happens to the particles that do not get detected on the other side o …
