Because all three waves are reflections of the same original wave, they all have the same wavelength. However, the processes of reflection and transmission will modify the ''amplitude'' of each wave. By removing the diamond and reflecting the laser solely off of the mirror, we will be able to calculate the amplitude of the initial light after it has reflected off the mirror and beam splitter once and been transmitted through the splitter once.
