A supposition without assuming that it is true is:
Show Hint
- A hypothesis
- An axiom
- A model
- A postulate
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
- A hypothesis is a proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence. - It is subject to testing and validation. Step 2: Why Not Other Options?
- An axiom is a self-evident truth. - A model represents a system but does not imply a supposition. - A postulate is an assumed truth without proof. Step 3: Conclusion
Since a hypothesis is a supposition without assuming it is true, Option (1) is correct.
Top Questions on Units and measurement
Two light beams fall on a transparent material block at point 1 and 2 with angle \( \theta_1 \) and \( \theta_2 \), respectively, as shown in the figure. After refraction, the beams intersect at point 3 which is exactly on the interface at the other end of the block. Given: the distance between 1 and 2, \( d = \frac{4}{3} \) cm and \( \theta_1 = \theta_2 = \cos^{-1} \left( \frac{n_2}{2n_1} \right) \), where \( n_2 \) is the refractive index of the block and \( n_1 \) is the refractive index of the outside medium, then the thickness of the block is …….. cm.

- The ratio of the power of a light source \( S_1 \) to that of the light source \( S_2 \) is 2. \( S_1 \) is emitting \( 2 \times 10^{15} \) photons per second at 600 nm. If the wavelength of the source \( S_2 \) is 300 nm, then the number of photons per second emitted by \( S_2 \) is \_\_\_\_\_ \( \times 10^{14} \).
