Which one of the following is incorrect?

1. When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency. 
2. When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, the speed decreases. The reduction in speed implies a reduction in the energy carried by the light wave.
3. In the wave picture of light, the intensity of light is determined by the square of the amplitude of the wave. 
4. For a given frequency, the intensity of light in the photon picture is determined by the number of photons crossing a unit area per unit time.

Consider the following statements and then mark the incorrect statement/s.

a. The angular separation of the fringes increases if the screen is moved towards the plane of the slits.
b. The angular separation of the fringes increases if the (monochromatic) source is replaced by another (monochromatic) source of a shorter wavelength.
c. The angular separation of the fringes increases if the separation between the two slits is increased.
d. The sharpness of the fringes increases when the source slit is moved closer to the double-slit plane.
