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 $\alpha \, beats/s$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $\beta $. Find the value of $\beta  - \alpha $
