How can a Black hole suck in a wave?

Question

Black hole are supposed to attract mass by its gravity force?
Nothing is saids about a attracting a gravity wave or any other type of wave?

Answer 1

waves have mass, the back hole suck mass, therefore the black hole sucks waves

Answer 2

The equations of relativity that predicted the existence of black holes and that goven how they work apply both to particles and to energy - mass and waves. I'm sure you're familiar with Einstein's famous theorem that shows the equality between mass and energy - E=mc^2. The situation you describe for a black hole is one where this equivalence matters.

The way gravity effects waves is not to slow them down (which would violate the contance of c), but to shift their wavelength toward the red, or longer. With a strong enough gravitational field - like a black hole - a light wave's redshift will go to infinity, and the energy of the wave will go to zero. The wave is trapped by the black hole, and there is nothing that can 're-energize' it. The photon does not actually get "pulled in" in the same way an object with mass would, but it would disappear as it's energy became zero.

Another way to think about this is that gravity causes a curvature of space, and a black hole is infinitely deep. Even light will follow the curve into the black hole, and never come back out again. Even though this is a different kind of thought picture from the redshift explanation, the mathematics for both of these are equivalent, and give you the same result - light goes in, and doesn't come back out.

Weird, eh? Black holes cause some of the strangest phenomena we can imagine. Which is why I like physics - in a sense it is real-world magic.

Answer 3

To answer this question, a person must determine whether "black holes" are a reality or not. There is a problem you are able to work out for yourself to determine whether it is a true value or not.

The basis of the Black Hole theory came into existence because it was thought that all mass had an inherent gravitational value, and that this value was constant at all time. Thus, were a person able to compress a mass (as carbon to diamond) to small enough size, the gravitational field would also be being compressed proportionally.

The problem, emperically, with this concept is that were it true, then there would form within the core of our planet, as well as our sun, a "black hole". Check out for yourself what the speed of a mass would be were it to exist as the 0.717 and then the 0.716 mile distance from the core point of our planet. Then look at the speed of mass were it to exist 400 miles from the core point of our sun. The Black Hole advocates have a problem they cannot reason away by believing as they do. There is an equation that describes a gravitational field (c2=E/m). Written as Newton would describe it is able to be found at, timebones.blogspot.com.

Answer 4

Light follows the Space lines into the distortion called Black Holes. The Photons of Light may be absorbed somehow inside of the hole. Also the hole may not have a bottom and light will just keep on "Going" and never come back. The hole may be connected to another Universe,
There may be another Port into our space which could be adding matter.....Who knows?

Answer 5

extremely tough factor. seek onto search engines like google. this could actually help!

Answer 6

"it can attract anything"
