If there is one, what will escapes from a black hole?
Answer to Problem 15Q
Solution:
We cannot ‘see’ a black hole because light cannot escape it, but we can note the effect as a black hole. The most obvious way to detect a black hole is through its strong gravitational pull. If a black hole was surrounded by large amounts of orbiting material like gas, dust and stars, their rapid motion close to the hole could be observable via shifts in the energy of the
Explanation of Solution
A place where the gravitational force is present, which does not even allow radiation to escape is called a hole.
