Let Maximum intensity be I .
Let Minimum intensity be i .
Let the original intensities be I₁ and I₂ .
I : i = ( √I₁ + √I₂ )² : ( √I₁ - √I₂ )²
= > 5 : 1 = √I₁ + √I₂ : √I₁ - √I₂
By componendo and dividendo :
= > ( 5 + 1 )/( 5 - 1 ) = 2 √I₁ : 2 √I₂
= > 6 / 4 = √I₁ : √I₂
= > I₁ : I₂ = 36/16
= > I₁ : I₂ = 9 : 4
