In a Young's double-slit experiment, interference fringes are obtained on a screen at a distance of $1 \, m$ using light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring{A}$. The distance between the slits is $1 \, mm$. The fringe width is:

Assertion : No interference pattern is detected when two coherent sources are infinitely close to each other.
Reason : The fringe width is inversely proportional to the distance between the two slits.
