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. \(9\)

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): If the phase difference between the light waves emerging from the slits of Young's experiment is \(\pi\) radian, the central fringe will be dark.
Reason (R): Phase difference is equal to \((2\pi/\lambda)\) times of path difference.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

Out of the two slits of Young’s double-slit experiment, one of the slits is painted to make its intensity less than that of the other slit. Then:
1. the fringes will disappear (uniform illumination).
2. screen will become dark.
3. the contrast between fringes will increase.
4. the contrast between fringes will decrease.
