Light waves each pf amplitude 'a' and frequency `omega` emanating from two coherent light sources superpose at a point. If the displacement due to these waves are given by `y_(1) = a cos omegat` and `y_(2) = a cos (omegat + phi)`, where `phi` is the phase difference between the two, obtain the expression for the resultant intensity at the point.
