MCQ
A black hole is an object whose gravitational field is so strong that even light cannot escape from it. To what approximate radius would earth $($ mass $= 5 .98 \times \,10^{24}\, kg)$ have to be compressed to be a black hole?
  • A
    $10^{-9} \,\,m$
  • B
    $10^{-6}\,\,m$
  • $10^{-2} \,\,m$
  • D
    $100 \,\,m$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$10^{-2} \,\,m$
c
       Light cannot escape from a black hole, 

${v_{esc}} = c$

$\sqrt {\frac{{2GM}}{R}}  = c\,\,\,\,\,or\,\,\,\,\,\,\,R = \frac{{2GM}}{{{c^2}}}$

$R = \frac{{2 \times 6.67 \times {{10}^{ - 11}}N{m^2}k{g^{ - 2}} \times 5.98 \times {{10}^{24}}kg}}{{{{\left( {3 \times {{10}^8}\,m\,{s^{ - 1}}} \right)}^2}}}$

$ = 8.86 \times {10^{ - 3}}m \approx {10^{ - 2}}\,m$

Consider a configuration of $n$ identical units, each consisting of three layers. The first layer is a column of air of height $h=\frac{1}{3} cm$, and the second and third layers are of equal thickness $d=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2} cm$, and refractive indices $\mu_1=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$ and $\mu_2=\sqrt{3}$, respectively. A light source $O$ is placed on the top of the first unit, as shown in the figure. A ray of light from $O$ is incident on the second layer of the first unit at an angle of $\theta=60^{\circ}$ to the normal. For a specific value of $n$, the ray of light emerges from the bottom of the configuration at a distance $l=\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} cm$, as shown in the figure. The value of $n$ is. . . . .
