For Young's double-slit experiment, two statements are given below:
Statement I: If screen is moved away from the plane of slits, angular separation of the fringes remains constant. 
Statement Ii: If the monochromatic source is replaced by another monochromatic source of larger wavelength, the angular separation of fringes decreases.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 
1. Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
4. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

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. \(9\)

1. \(1.5\) mm
2. \(15\) mm
3. \(30\) mm
4. \(3\) mm

1. \(0.1^{\circ}\)
2. \(0.266^{\circ}\)
3. \(0.15^{\circ}\)
4. \(0.05^{\circ}\)

In Young's double-slit experiment, if there is no initial phase difference between the light from the two slits, a point on the screen corresponding to the fifth minimum has a path difference:
1. \( \frac{5\lambda}{2} \)
2. \( \frac{10\lambda}{2} \)
3. \( \frac{9\lambda}{2} \)
4. \( \frac{11\lambda}{2} \)

In Young's double-slit experiment, the separation \(d\) between the slits is \(2~\text{mm}\), the wavelength \(\lambda\) of the light used is \(5896~\mathring{\text{A}}\) and distance \(D\) between the screen and slits is \(100~\text{cm}\). It is found that the angular width of the fringes is \(0.20^{\circ}\). To increase the fringe angular width to \(0.21^{\circ}\) (with same \(\lambda\) and \(D\)) the separation between the slits needs to be changed to:
1. \(1.8~\text{mm}\)
2. \(1.9~\text{mm}\)
3. \(2.1~\text{mm}\)
4. \(1.7~\text{mm}\)
