In Young's double-slit experiment, a student observes \(8\) fringes in a certain segment of the screen when a monochromatic light of \(600\) nm wavelength is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to \(400\) nm, then the number of fringes he would observe in the same region of the screen is: 
1. \(12\) 
2. \(6\) 
3. \(8\) 
4. \(9\)
