For Young's double slit experiment,two statements are given below :
Statement $I:$ If the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits,the 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 the fringes decreases.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • A
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • D
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
