Which of the following statements is incorrect?

Options

  1. AClassical Physics deals with macroscopic phenomena and includes subject like mechanics, electrodynamics, optic
  2. BAll Physics and also mathematics is based on assumptions each of which is variously called hypothesis or axiom
  3. CA hypothesis is a supposition with asstuming that is true.
  4. DAn axiom is a self-evident truth, while a modei is a theory proposed to explain observed phenomena.

Correct answer

C. A hypothesis is a supposition with asstuming that is true.

Step-by-step solution

Classical physics is indeed concerned with macroscopic phenomena, encompassing mechanics, electrodynamics, optics, and thermodynamics, making the first statement correct. Physics and mathematics are built upon foundational assumptions known as hypotheses, axioms, or postulates, which serve as the starting points for logical deduction, making the second statement correct. An axiom is defined as a self-evident truth or a starting assumption accepted without proof, and a model is a theoretical framework used to explai
