Two monochromatic sources of electromagnetic wave P and Q emit waves of wavelength λ=20 m and separated by 5 m as shown. A, B and C are three points where interference of these waves is observed. If phase of a wave generated by P is ahead of wave generated by Q by π/2 then (given intensity of both waves is I) :
