$A$ mixture of light,consisting of wavelengths $590 \ nm$ and an unknown wavelength,illuminates Young's double slit and gives rise to two overlapping interference patterns on the screen. The central maximum of both lights coincide. Further,it is observed that the $3^{rd}$ bright fringe of the known light coincides with the $4^{th}$ bright fringe of the unknown light. From this data,the wavelength of the unknown light is ...... $nm$.

In Young's double-slit experiment,the intensity at a point on the screen where the path difference is $\lambda/6$ is $I$. If the intensity of the central bright fringe is $I_0$,then $I/I_0$ is:

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: In a Young's double slit experiment, the angular separation of fringes will increase as the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits.
Statement $II$: In a Young's double slit experiment, the angular separation of fringes will increase when a monochromatic source is replaced by another monochromatic source of higher wavelength.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

In Young's double slit experiment, the distance between the two slits is $0.1 \, mm$ and the wavelength of light used is $4 \times 10^{-7} \, m$. If the width of the fringe on the screen is $4 \, mm$, the distance between the screen and the slit is:
