In a Young's double slit experiment,$15$ fringes are observed on a small portion of the screen when light of wavelength $500 \; nm$ is used. Ten fringes are observed on the same section of the screen when another light source of wavelength $\lambda$ is used. Then the value of $\lambda$ is (in $nm$):

Statement-$1$: If white light is used in $YDSE$,then the central bright fringe will be white.
Statement-$2$: In the case of white light used in $YDSE$,all the wavelengths produce their zero-order maxima at the same position.

Light of wavelength $520\, nm$ passing through a double slit produces an interference pattern of relative intensity versus deflection angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The separation $d$ between the slits is

The maximum intensity of fringes in Young's experiment is $I$. If one of the slits is closed,then the intensity at that place becomes $I_o$. Which of the following relations is true?
