The ratio of maximum and minimum intensities in an interference pattern is $36: 1$. The ratio of the amplitude of the two interfering waves will be

Interference fringes are produced on the screen by using two light sources of intensities $I$ and $9I$. The phase difference between the beams is $\pi / 2$ at point $P$ and $\pi$ at point $Q$ on the screen. The difference between the resultant intensities at points $P$ and $Q$ is $(\cos 90^{\circ}=0, \cos 180^{\circ}=-1)$. (in $I$)
