$A$ mass $m$,travelling at speed $V_0$ in a straight line from far away,is deflected when it passes near a black hole of mass $M$ which is at a perpendicular distance $R$ from the original line of flight. $a$,the distance of closest approach between the mass and the black hole,is given by the relation:

  • A
    $a = R\left(1 + \frac{2GM}{aV_0^2}\right)^{1/2}$
  • B
    $a = R\left(1 + \frac{aV_0^2}{2GM}\right)^{1/2}$
  • C
    $a = R\left(1 + \frac{GM}{2aV_0^2}\right)^{-1/2}$
  • D
    $a = R\left(1 + \frac{2GM}{aV_0^2}\right)^{-1/2}$
