Maximum amplitude & Intensity -

When \theta = 0,2\pi ---2n\pi
 

- wherein

A_{max }= A_{1}+A_{2}

I_{max }= \left ( \sqrt{I_{1}}+\sqrt{I_{2}} \right )^{2}

 

 

Minimum amplitude & Intensity -

\theta = \left ( 2n+1 \right )\pi
 

- wherein

A_{min }= A_{1}-A_{2}

I_{min }= \left ( \sqrt{I_{1}}-\sqrt{I_{2}} \right )^{2}

 

 I_{max} = \left ( \sqrt{I_{1}} \right+\sqrt{I_{2}} )^{2} =\left ( \sqrt{I} \right+\sqrt{4I} )^{2} = 9I

I_{min} = \left ( \sqrt{I_{1}} \right-\sqrt{I_{2}} )^{2} =\left ( \sqrt{I} \right-\sqrt{4I} )^{2} = I
