Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | In Young's double-slit experiment the two slits are at a distance d apart. The interference pattern is observed on a screen at a distance D from the slits and a dark fringe is observed. The wavelength of the wave is proportional to the square of the distance between two slits. |
| Reason (R): | For a dark fringe, intensity is zero. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
