1. \(I_0\)
2. \(I_0/4\)
3. \(I_0/2\)
4. \(4I_0\)

Red light is used in a single slit diffraction experiment with a slit width of \(0.6~\text{mm}\). If the red light is replaced by yellow light, then the observed pattern will reveal:
1. that the central maximum is wider.
2. more number of fringes.
3. less number of fringes.
4. no diffraction pattern.

In 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: 
1. \(12\) 
2. \(6\) 
3. \(8\) 
4. \(9\)
