Question
The condition for a uniform spherical mass m of radius r to be a black hole is :[G =gravitational constant and g = acceleration due to gravity]
Options
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution
A black hole does not allow light to escape its surface. In other words for a blackbody escape velocity becomes ≥ velocity of light
Now for a body of mass m,
Escape velocity =
So, =
Now for a body of mass m,
Escape velocity =

So, =
