The Schwarzschild radius of a 10M _$\odot$ is __________ the size of the Schwarzschild radius of a 5 M _$\odot$ black hole. A) 1/5 B) 1/2 C) equal to D) 2 times E) 5 times

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Schwarzschild radius is directly proportional to the mass of the black hole. The given black hole has double the mass of the other black hole. Using the formula for Schwarzschild radius (r = 2GM/c^2), we can see that the radius of the first black hole is twice that of the second black hole. Therefore, the Schwarzschild radius of the given black hole is 2 times the size of the Schwarzschild radius of the other black hole. So, the answer is D, 2 times.
