What should be the radius of a planet with mass equal to that of earth and escape velocity on its surface is equal to the velocity of light. Given that mass of earth is `M=6xx10^(24)kg`.

A

6mm

B

9mm

C

18mm

D

3mm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`v_(c)=sqrt((2GM)/(R))rArrR=(2GM)/(v_(e)^(2))approx 9mm`
