Which of the following is not a correct statement?

"If you illuminate two pinholes using two lamps, the interference pattern will not be observed" - Explain.

Two point sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ separated by a distance $10 \mu m$ emit light waves of wavelength $4 \mu m$ in phase. $A$ circular wire of radius $40 \mu m$ is placed around the sources as shown in the figure,where $O$ is the centre of the circle and $OS_1 = OS_2$. Then:

The difference in the number of wavelengths, when yellow light propagates through air and vacuum columns of the same thickness, is $1$. The thickness of the air column is (Refractive index of air $\mu_a = 1.0003$, Wavelength of yellow light in vacuum $\lambda_0 = 6000 \text{ Å}$)

Two identical radiators have a separation of $d = \lambda /4$ where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the waves emitted by either source. The initial phase difference between the sources is $\pi /4$. Then the intensity on the screen at a distant point situated at an angle $\theta = 30^\circ$ from the radiators is (here $I_o$ is the intensity at that point due to one radiator alone):
