No one has been inside a black hole before and even if someone did they would probably die. So, no one knows what happens to the light going into a black hole.

Light that enters a black hole cannot escape due to the immense gravitational pull, resulting in the light being trapped within the event horizon and unable to be observed from the outside. It is thought to contribute to increasing the black hole's mass.

Is there going to be a black hole in the moon today?

There will not be a black hole in the moon today, tomorrow or forever (whenever that happens!)


What happens when nothing goes into a black hole?

The Black Hole will explode because the gravity of a Black Hole is formed by the matter that is in the process of going intothe Black Hole, and not that matter that has already gone inside.


How does light calculate in a black hole?

I am not aware of light calculating anything in a black hole.


How does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?

The escape velocity from a black hole is equal to or greater than the speed of light. This means that nothing, not even light, can escape from a black hole once it has crossed its event horizon.


What happens to a mass when it is swallowed by a black hole?

The object swallowed by the black hole is destroyed; its mass is added to the mass of the black hole.

When light is traveling away from a black hole, its wavelength becomes longer. This is called blue-shifting. If it's going in, the wavelength becomes shorter, which is called red-shifting.

Why can't anything be seen in a black hole?

Nothing can be seen in a black hole because all the light particles are sucked into the depths of the hole, and then no one knows what happens....

What happens if you explode an Atomic Bomb inside a Black Hole?

The force of the impact will still be absorbed by the black hole. By definition, a black hole is a very dense mass where no form of radiation can escape - not even light. Since no explosion is faster than light, a black hole would absorb the blast, the impact, and all forms of light and radiation that would be emitted from the bomb. If you were to watch a black hole, you would see no changes from it.

What is an area where gravity is so strong not even light can escape?

A black hole is an area where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from it. This happens when a massive star collapses in on itself, creating a region of spacetime with an intense gravitational pull.


What is the brilliant light coming from a black hole?

if there is light surrounding a black hole it is normally from material entering into the event horizon of the black hole.


Can you make light circular?

Only around a black hole. There is a sphere around every black hole where light orbits the black hole.
