The quantification of wave-particle duality (WPD) by means of measurable features associated to it, such as fringe visibility ($\mathcal {V}$) and path distinguishability ($\mathcal {D}$), led to the establishment of the constraint $\mathcal {V}^{2}+\mathcal {D}^{2} \leq \,1$. The two involved quantities refer to so-called "quantons", physical objects that are capable of generating an interferometric pattern, while being at least partially localizable. Any quanton's internal degree of freedom (DOF) can in principle be used as a path-marker. When the quanton and its internal DOF are simultaneously engaged, new constraints can be derived and experimentally tested. Generalized constraints show how $\mathcal {V}$ and $\mathcal {D}$ relate to other quantifiers and bring to light coherences that might remain otherwise hidden in both quantum and classical light. We submitted two-qubit constraints to experimental tests, using optical light beams. This shows that, despite the rather contrived nature of the constraints, linear optics setups are appropriate to test them. Our experimental results are in very good agreement with theoretical predictions related to the tested constraints. Our results also show that quantifiers such as $\mathcal {V}$ and $\mathcal {D}$ help not only to quantify, but also to generalize the concept of WPD.
