Two light beams of intensities $I$ and $4I$ produce an interference pattern on a screen. If the phase difference between them at point $A$ is $\pi/2$ and at point $B$ is $2\pi$,find the difference between the resultant intensities at points $A$ and $B$.

  • A
    $2I$
  • B
    $5I$
  • C
    $I$
  • D
