Question

99. A ‘black hole’ is a body in space which does not allow any radiation to come out. This property is due to its:

• A. (a) very small size
• B. (b) very large size
• C. (c) very high density
• D. (d) very low size

Answer 1

The correct option is C

(c) very high density

(C)
A black hole is a region of space from which nothing,

not even light, can escape. It is the result of the

deformation of spacetime caused by a very compact

mass. The simplest black hole has mass but neither

electric charge nor angular momentum. The mass of a

black hole is finite, the reason why a black hole has

infinite density is that it's mass is concentrated into a

space of zero-volume. Thus, it has a very high density.
