Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ In Young's double slit experiment,the fringes produced by red light are closer as compared to those produced by blue light.
Reason $(R) :$ The fringe width is directly proportional to the wavelength of light.
In the light of above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

In Young's double slit experiment,$62$ fringes are seen in the visible region for sodium light of wavelength $5893 \ \mathring{A}$. If violet light of wavelength $4358 \ \mathring{A}$ is used in place of sodium light,then the number of fringes seen will be:

In a Young's double slit experiment,$16$ fringes are observed in a certain segment of the screen when light of wavelength $700 \,nm$ is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to $400 \,nm$,the number of fringes observed in the same segment of the screen would be........

The width of the fringe is $2\,mm$ on the screen in a double-slit experiment for light of wavelength $400\,nm$. The width of the fringe for light of wavelength $600\,nm$ will be $..............\,mm$.
