When two waves of the same amplitude $a$ and the same frequency $f$ superimpose,the total intensity is proportional to which of the following?

Two waves of amplitudes $A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively are superimposed. The ratio between the maximum and minimum intensities of the resultant waves is $9 : 4$. The value of $A_2 / A_1$ is [Assume $A_1 > A_2$]

Two waves have equations $x_1 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_1)$ and $x_2 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_2)$. If the frequency and amplitude of the resultant wave remain equal to those of the superimposing waves,then the phase difference between them is:

Two coherent sources of sound,$S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$,produce sound waves of the same wavelength,$\lambda = 1\, m$,in phase. $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are placed $1.5\, m$ apart (see figure). $A$ listener,located at $L$,directly in front of $S_{2}$,finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is $2\, m$ away from $S_{2}$. The listener moves away from $S_{1}$,keeping his distance from $S_{2}$ fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance $d$ from $S_{1}$. Then,$d$ is $......\, m$.

Two waves have equations $x_1 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_1)$ and $x_2 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_2)$. If in the resultant wave the frequency and amplitude remain equal to the amplitude of the superimposing waves,the phase difference between them is ........
