SECTION : (C) -Passage Type Questions

PASSAGE 01
The concept of a black hole is one of the most interesting products of modern gravitational theory, yet the basic idea can
be understood on the basis of Newtonian principles.
Using the theory of gravitation, we know that escape velocity from the surface of a star is given as

2GM 8GR
v=  (expression for escape velocity)
R 3
If we find the escape velocity from surface of the sun, it comes out to be about 6.18  105 m/s. This value is roughly
1
times the velocity of light. Now consider various stars with same average density  as that of the sun and different
500
radii R. The equation of escape velocity suggests that for a given value of density , the escape speed v is directly
proportional to R. In 1783, Rev. John Mitchell, an amateur astronomer, noted that if a body with same average density
as sun had about 500 times the radius of the sun, the magnitude of its escape velocity would be greater than the speed
of light c. With his statement “ All light emitted from such a body would be made to return towards it”, Mitchell became
the first person to suggest the existence of what we now call a “ black hole”.
The expression for escape speed also suggests that a body of mass M will act as a black hole if its radius is less than
or equal to a certain critical radius.
How can we determine this critical radius? You might think that you can find the answer by simply setting v = c in the
expression for escape velocity. As a matter of fact, this does give the correct result but only because of two compensating
errors. Kinetic energy of light is not ½ mc2 and the gravitational potential energy near a black hole is not –GMm/r. An
1916, Karl Schwarzschild used Einstein’s general theory of relativity (in part a generalization and extension of Newtonian
gravitation theory ) to derive an expression for the critical radius Rs, now called the Shwarzschild radius, which is given
2GM
as RS  . The surface of the sphere with radius Rs surrounding a black hole is called the event horizon. Since
c2
light cannot escape from within that sphere, we can’t see the events occurring inside.
If light cannot escape from a black hole, how can we know such things exist? The answer is that any gas or dust near
the black hole tends to be pulled into an accretion disc that swirls around and in to the black hole, rather like a whirlpool.
While there are some black holes with masses of the order of a few times the solar mass, there is also an evidence for
super massive black holes.
One example is thought to lie at the centre of the milky was Galaxy, some 26000 light years away from earth in the
direction of constellation Sagittarius. High resolution images of Galactic centre reveal stars moving at speeds greater
than 1500 km/s about an unseen object that lies at the position of a source of radio waves called SgrA*. By analysing
these motions astronomers can infer the period t and semi-major axis of each star’s orbit. The mass mx of the unseen
