Black holes in orbit around a normal star are detected from the earth due to the frictional heating of infalling gas into the black hole, which can reach temperatures greater than 10^6 ~K . Assuming that the infalling gas can be modelled as a blackbody radiator, then the wavelength of maximum power lies

Options

  1. Ain the visible region
  2. Bin the X-ray region
  3. Cin the the microwave region
  4. Din the gamma-ray region of electromagnetic spectrum
