Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: In a Young's double slit experiment, the angular separation of fringes will increase as the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits.
Statement $II$: In a Young's double slit experiment, the angular separation of fringes will increase when a monochromatic source is replaced by another monochromatic source of higher wavelength.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

In Young's double-slit experiment,the separation between the two slits is $3 \, mm$ and they are illuminated by light of wavelength $480 \, nm$. The screen is at a distance of $2 \, m$ from the plane of the slits. Find the separation between the $8^{th}$ bright fringe and the $3^{rd}$ dark fringe with respect to the central bright fringe.

Two wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 450 \ nm$ and $\lambda_2 = 650 \ nm$ are used in Young's double slit experiment. The minimum order of fringe produced by $\lambda_2$ which overlaps with a fringe produced by $\lambda_1$ is $n$. The value of $n$ is . . . . . . .

In Young's double slit experiment,the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{6}$ is $I$. If $I_0$ denotes the maximum intensity,find the ratio $\frac{I}{I_0}$.
