(B) The resultant intensity $I_R$ for two interfering beams with intensities $I_1$ and $I_2$ and phase difference $\phi$ is given by $I_R = I_1 + I_2 + 2\sqrt{I_1 I_2} \cos \phi$.Given $I_1 = I$ and $I_2 = 4I$.At point $A$,the phase difference $\phi_A = \frac{\pi}{2}$.$I_A = I + 4I + 2\sqrt{I \cdot 4I} \cos(\frac{\pi}{2}) = 5I + 0 = 5I$.At point $B$,the phase difference $\phi_B = \pi$.$I_B = I + 4I + 2\sqrt{I \cdot 4I} \cos(\pi) = 5I + 2(2I)(-1) = 5I - 4I = I$.The difference between the resultant intensities at $A$ and $B$ is $|I_A - I_B| = |5I - I| = 4I$.

Two beams of light having intensities $I$ and $4I$ interfere to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase difference between the beams is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ at point $A$ and $\pi$ at point $B$. Then the difference between the resultant intensities at $A$ and $B$ is (in $I$)
