7. a) a beam of light. b) a massive object. c) neutrinos. d) antimatter. e) All of the above are correct. Question 6 The force of gravity can pull on Gravity is described by general relativity as a bending of space, and all particles, including photons, move through warped space along curved paths.

9. a) is the point where X rays emerge. b) is the physical surface of the hole. c) defines the outer edge of an accretion disk. d) is measured by the Schwarzschild radius. e) extends for millions of miles into space. Question 8 The event horizon of a black hole

10. a) is the point where X rays emerge. b) is the physical surface of the hole. c) defines the outer edge of an accretion disk. d) is measured by the Schwarzschild radius. e) extends for millions of miles into space. Question 8 The event horizon of a black hole The event horizon is the surface of an imaginary sphere around a collapsed object inside of which nothing, including light, can escape.
