The gravity in a black hole is so high that the light waves cannot escape it.

well we do know that black holes entrap light. the how is because of gravity. i really can't go into detail because you are hitting on a subject that is so full of complex literature and data. you just have to do your research. I'll probably recommend reading some Stephen Hawkins books. the guy is a genius! stop by your nearest book store.

YES that is why it is so hard to see. It will pull in everything. It is caused by a star that has collapsed ,and the material has boiled off almost all the electrons ,which allows the material to condense into solid mass. now as the sun continues to crush itself, the entire mass of the sun will collapse into a few cubic feet. another part of that is the velocity of the collapsing material.When the material reaches the speed of light it will have a mass of infinity. When this happens nothing can escape, they have seen signs of a black hole eating a sun.

Yes, black holes do trap light into thier gravitational fields, that is why you have a very bright event horizon and a dark inner section ... now the tricky part ... if the gravitaional pull of a black hole is so strong as to suck in light, is that light wave travelling at faster than light speed, and if so, wouldnt that mean it is travelling in time? ... basically, there's alot of theory and no proof on how black holes function.

the answer is yes basically with out going deeply into quntumphysics a black hole is a colapsed star after it has gone super nova it implodes in on itself and the gravity well is so intense that not even light can escape hope this helps

not sure but in my opinion it's possible because black holes will just suck everything in and the escape velocity needed to get out of a black hole is so high that even light can't get out of it

i believe so, due to the high gravitationaly forces, it attracts the excited light particles into the hole where it is destroyed by the emenst gravitational forces, so i dont think its entraped, as much as its sucked in and destroyed.

Yes, black holes are very sneaky. They sit in the backround and pretend they are dormant, but then they wake up, suck things in, and before you know it they are huge and on a dangerous war path to suck all the light out of the universe!

Yes. The gravity is so strong it pulls the light in.
Imagine if you turned on a flashlight, pointed it straight out, and the beam of light came out and curved towards the ground.

yes the gravity is so dense that light can't escape it figure it as you being pulled by a powerful vacuum the size of earth
