One of the most massive star known is ETA Carinae B, with 125 solar mass and 240 solar radii at periastron. What is the escape velocity of photon from its surface.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The escape velocity of photon from its surface=445625.7m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius, R=240 solar radii=[tex]1.67\times 10^{11} m[/tex]

1 solar radii=[tex]6.957\times 10^8 m[/tex]

Mass, m=125 solar mass=[tex]2.486\times 10^{32}kg[/tex]

1 solar mass=[tex]1.989\times 10^{30}kg[/tex]

We have to find the escape velocity of photon from its surface.

We know that escape velocity

[tex]v={\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 2.486\times 10^{32}}{1.67\times 10^{11}}}[/tex]

[tex]v=445625.7m/s[/tex]

Hence ,the escape velocity of photon from its surface=445625.7m/s
