In a 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:

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $9$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $6$

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ In Young's double slit experiment,the fringes produced by red light are closer as compared to those produced by blue light.
Reason $(R) :$ The fringe width is directly proportional to the wavelength of light.
In the light of above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

What is the effect on the interference fringes in a Young's double-slit experiment due to each of the following operations:
$(a)$ the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits;
$(b)$ the (monochromatic) source is replaced by another (monochromatic) source of shorter wavelength;
$(c)$ the separation between the two slits is increased;
$(d)$ the source slit is moved closer to the double-slit plane;
$(e)$ the width of the source slit is increased;
$(f)$ the monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light?
(In each operation,take all parameters,other than the one specified,to remain unchanged.)
