What is the Schwarzschild radius, and how does it relate to black holes?
A) It tells us the radius of the event horizon of a black hole
B) It tells us the radius of the star orbiting around the black hole
C) Tells us the safest distance for an object to orbit a black hole
Answer Loacted Below!
The correct choice among the options provided is option A. To simplify, imagine a black hole as a flat two-dimensional circle. In this scenario, the Schwarzschild Radius indicates the specific point where the velocity needed to escape a black hole matches the speed of light. Drawing from basic geometry principles, recall that knowing the radius of a circle allows you to calculate its circumference (2 * pi * r). This resulting circumference serves as the dividing line between objects falling into the black hole and the rest of the universe, commonly referred to as the Event Horizon.
