Study Notes

Hawking Radiation

Hawking radiation is the theoretical phenomenon of black holes emitting a faint thermal spectrum of particles due to quantum effects near the event horizon.

Hawking Radiation Name

It is named after renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, who first theorized the phenomenon in the 1970s.

Black Hole Effect

Hawking radiation causes black holes to slowly lose mass and eventually evaporate over extremely long periods of time.

Detectability

Currently, Hawking radiation is not directly detectable with existing telescopes due to the extremely weak and low-energy radiation emitted.

Radiation Temperature and Black Hole Mass

The temperature of Hawking radiation is inversely proportional to the black hole's mass, meaning smaller black holes emit hotter radiation.
