Question

1. research shows a direct relationship between the x - rays and the size of the black hole: the _ x - ray light, the _ the black hole.

more, smaller
more, larger
less, larger
lower, larger

Explanation:

In astrophysics, smaller black holes have more intense accretion disks. As matter falls into a black hole, it heats up and emits X - rays. Smaller black holes have higher gravitational gradients near their event horizons, causing more friction and heating in the infalling matter, resulting in more X - ray emission.

Answer:

more, smaller
