Two waves of a single source having an amplitude A interfere. The resulting amplitude

\mathrm{A_{r}^{2}=A_{1}^{2}+A_{2}^{2}+2 A_{1} A_{2} \cos \delta}
where
\mathrm{A_{1}=A_{2}=A \, and \, \delta=} phase difference between the waves
\mathrm{\Rightarrow \quad I_{r}=I_{1}+I_{2}+2 \sqrt{I_{1} I_{2}} \cos \delta}

When the maxima occurs at the center, \mathrm{\delta=0}
\mathrm{\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{r}_{1}}=4 \mathrm{I}}\quad \ldots(1)

Since the phase difference between two successive fringes is \mathrm{2 \pi}, the phase difference between two points separated by a distance equal to one quarter of the distance between the two, successive fringes is equal to \mathrm{\delta=(2 \pi)\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}} radius
\mathrm{\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{r}_{2}}=4 \mathrm{l} \cos ^{2}\left(\frac{\pi / 2}{2}\right)=2 \mathrm{l}}\quad \ldots(2)
using (1) and (2)
\mathrm{\frac{\mathrm{I}_{1}}{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{r}_{2}}}=\frac{4 \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{I}}=2}
