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.
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.
