Two waves with amplitudes $3 \, m$ and $5 \, m$ produce beats. What is the ratio of the maximum to minimum intensity?

Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by ${y_1} = 4\,\sin \left( {500\pi t} \right)$ and ${y_2} = 2\,\sin \left( {506\pi t} \right)$. These tuning forks are held near the ear of a person. The person will hear $\alpha \, \text{beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $\beta$. Find the value of $\beta - \alpha$.
