Statement I: Two coherent point sources of light having no-zero phase difference are separated by a small distance. Then, on the perpendicular bisector of line segment joining both the point sources, constructive inteference cannot be obtained. Statement II: For two waves from coherent point sources to interfere constructively at a point, the magnitude of their phase difference at that point must be 2 m pi (where m is non-negative integer).
