- How likely is it for a black hole to collide with Earth? Would we have much warning?arrow_forwardYou discover by dropping particles into it that the Event Horizon (Schwartzschild Radius) of a black hole is 171 km. How massive is it? (enter just the number in solar masses)arrow_forwardWhat is the event horizon radius [m] for the sun if it were to collapse to a Schwarzschild black hole? (Msun = 1.99 x 1030kg). Would earth’s orbit be altered if this were to occur (although it would be a heck of a lot colder) (T/F).arrow_forward
- What is a black body? On what factors does the radiation emitted from it depend?arrow_forwardI understand that to an outside observer, the light from a star that is collapsing into a black hole will become more and more red-shifted as the surface of the star appears to approach the black hole event horizon. The outside observer will never actually see the surface of the star cross the black hole event horizon. This applies to all outside observers: at infinity, in orbit around the star/black hole or those using a rocket to hover above the black hole. Conversely, I know that for someone on the surface of the star that is collapsing to form a black hole it will appear quite different. The observer on the surface will not see anything unusual happen as they cross the event horizon and in a finite time they will reach the singularity at the center of the black hole where we do not know what will happen since general relativity breaks down in a singularity. So, now consider an observer that starts at a great distance from the star who is continually falling directly into the star…arrow_forwardAn AGN hosts a central Black Hole of mass 2×1038×1038 kg. The AGN emits at 1/51/5 of the Eddington limit. Find the luminosity of the AGN. Give your answer in Watts to 3 significant figures.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements best describes the behaviour of an object falling towards the Event Horizon of a Black Hole (according to an observer a long way from it)? As gravity increases the falling object will not suffer any change in appearence or the progression of time. As gravity increases the object's light will be compressed, leading to it looking bluer, with time appearing to passing more slowly for it. The falling object will appear to experience an increase in the rate of time, and it's colour will appear evermore red. As the falling object experiences ever stronger gravity, it will become redder and time will appear to pass more slowly for it.arrow_forward2arrow_forwardThe Schwarzschild radius of a certain black hole is 30n kilometers. The mass of this black hole, in units of solar masses, Mo, is given by M x aMo What is the value of a, if n = 5 (give only an integer value).arrow_forward
