What do we mean by the event horizon of a black hole?

Physics
2 answers:
TEA [102]3 years ago
5 0
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The event horizon is the surface of a black hole, it is the border of space-time in which the events on one side of it can not affect an observer on the other side.  

That is, at this border also called "point of no return", nothing can escape (not even light) and no event that occurs within it can be seen from outside.

Answer:

The event horizon is an imaginary surface surrounding a black hole, where the escape velocity is equal to the speed of light. Therefore, nothing within that horizon can escape due to the attraction of a large gravitational field

Explanation:

No particle that falls within the event horizon comes out again, since a speed greater than light would be needed, and so far no particle can reach it. In this way, there is no way to look inside the event horizon. For this reason, black holes have no visible characteristics.

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

What is the rock cycle and how does it change the lithosphere?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes the time-consuming transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. As the adjacent diagram illustrates, each of the types of rocks is altered or destroyed when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions. An igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they encounter new environments. The rock cycle is an illustration that explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time. This cyclical aspect makes rock change a geologic cycle and, on planets containing life, a biogeochemical cycle.

Plate movements drive the rock cycle by pushing rocks back into the mantle, where they melt and become magna again. Plate movements also cause the folding, faulting and uplift of the crust that move rocks through the rock cycle.

Plain electromagnetic wave (in air) has a frequency of 1 MHz and its B-field amplitude is 9 nT a. What is the wavelength in air?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Part a)

\lambda = 300 m

Part b)

E = 2.7 N/C

Part c)

I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2

P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that frequency = 1 MHz

speed of electromagnetic wave is same as speed of light

So the wavelength is given as

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

\lambda = \frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^6}

\lambda = 300 m

Part b)

As we know the relation between electric field and magnetic field

E = Bc

E = (9 \times 10^{-9})(3\times 10^8)

E = 2.7 N/C

Part c)

Intensity of wave is given as

I = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2c

I = \frac{1}{2}(8.85 \times 10^{-12})(2.7)^2(3\times 10^8)

I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2

Pressure is defined as ratio of intensity and speed

P = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{9.68\times 10^{-3}}{3\times 10^8}

P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2

A uniform string of length 0.50 m is fixed at both ends. Find the
kozerog [31]

Answer:

configuration of string:

Node - Antinode - Node    or N-A-N

This is 1/2 wavelength since a full wavelength is N-A-N-A-N

f (fundamental) = V / wavelength

F0 = 300 m/s / 1 m = 100 / sec

F1 = 300 m/s / .5 m = 600 / sec

Each increase is a multiple of the fundamental since the wavelength

increases by 1/2 wavelength to keep nodes at both ends of the string
