The slits in a Young's double-slit experiment have equal width and the source is placed symmetrically with respect to the slits. The intensity at the central fringe is \(I_0.\) If one of the slits is closed, the intensity at this point will be:
1. \(I_0\)
2. \(I_0/4\)
3. \(I_0/2\)
4. \(4I_0\)

Young's double-slit experiment is conducted with light of an unknown wavelength, the waves arriving at the central point on the screen are found to have a phase difference of \(\frac{\pi}{2}.\) The closest maximum to the central point is formed behind one of the slits. The separation between the slits is \(d,\) and the slit to screen separation is \(D.\) The longest wavelength for this to happen is:
1. \(\frac{2d^2}{D}\)
2. \(\frac{2d^2}{3D}\)
3. \(\frac{d^2}{2D}\)
4. \(\frac{d^2}{6D}\)

A monochromatic light of frequency \(500\) THz is incident on the slits of a Young's double slit experiment. If the distance between the slits is \(0.2\) mm and the screen is placed at a distance \(1\) m from the slits, the width of \(10\) fringes will be:
1. \(1.5\) mm
2. \(15\) mm
3. \(30\) mm
4. \(3\) mm

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.
