What is the speed of light near to the event horizon of a Black hole?
The speed of light is a constant, it does not matter in or out of a black hole.
How does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?
The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape
Does the speed of light varies when black hole attract the light?
no
Can light escape black holes?
No. The escape velocity of a black hole is greater than the speed of light.
What does it mean when light could not escape?
In the case of a black hole, the gravitational pull of the black hole is greater than the speed of light. Which means that the light is not fast enough to escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.
Does speed of light increases when it comes in contact with black hole gravity?
No, it does not. The speed of light always remains constant; it may be slowed down slightly when travelling through certain mediums (e.g. water, glass, air), but it cannot increase.
What will happen if you enter a black hole with the speed of light or th espeed greater than that as if you attain the spped of light your time will dilate and you will reach the past of that place?
If you enter a black hole, no matter what the speed, you will be sucked into the center of the black hole, and utterly destroyed.
If light can be pulled into a black hole that suggests mass What is the weight per square meter?
light has no mass and therefore no weight. Light cannot be "pulled" into a black hole. The escape velocity from a black hole is greater than the speed of light, so no light can escape from a black hole. Spacetime in the vicinity of a black hole is greatly distorted by the hole's gravity, and light may travel along curved geodesics that intersect the black hole. But it is not pulled in.
What of a black hole is the radius from a black hole at which the escape velocity is approximately equal to the speed of light?
It is called the Schwarzschild radius
When was What Remains Inside a Black Hole created?
What Remains Inside a Black Hole was created in 1996.
Is a black hole the remains of a lost planet?
No. No planet is massive enough to become a black hole. A black hole is the remains of a dead, supermassive star.
Why is the term black hole appropriate?
The term 'black hole' is particularly appropriate in its application to the astrophysical phenomenon of the same name due to the property of the escape velocity exceeding the speed of light. This means that no light or matter escapes a black hole.
