\frac{I_{max}}{I_{min}}= \left ( \frac{a_{1}+a_{2}}{a_{1}-a_{2}} \right )^{2} = \left ( \frac{5+3}{5-3} \right )^{2}= 16/1

 

Superposition of sinusoidal wave -

y_{1}= A\sin \left ( kx-\omega t \right )\\y_{2}= A\sin \left ( kx-\omega t +\phi \right )

 

- wherein

Resultant equation is y= 2A\cdot \cos \left ( \phi /2 \right )\cdot \sin \left ( kx-\omega t+\frac{\phi }{2} \right )
