Best Answer

GRAVITATIONAL WAVES are the result of large accelerations of masses. The three cases of observations of gravitational waves that have been announced so far, all of them by LIGO, are all the result of collisions of black holes; however, other events would also produce gravitational waves, and might eventually be detected, such as collisions between neutron stars, a star collapsing into a black hole, etc.

Do black holes in space have any relation to supposition of waves?

Black holes do give off gravitic waves, but according to non-string theory, no a convergence of electromagnetic waves in space do not create a black hole.


What kind of energy waves do black holes emit?

Black holes emit a great deal of x-ray energy.


Do black holes give off radio waves?

Black Holes don't give off radio waves. They emit X-rays. This happens rarely since the black hole's gravity is so strong that it doesn't allow photons to escape.


Why are black holes different to locate?

While black holes give off radio waves, the fact that no light can escape, or be reflected off of, black holes makes them completely invisible to any regular light-capturing device.

Why do astronomers use x-ray telescopes to study supernova explosions and black holes?

Different types of electromagnetic waves provide different kinds of information. Specifically, black holes will emit large amounts of x-rays.


Where in the universe is gravity the highest?

Probably in a 'Black Hole' , because Black Holes draw in everything including light ( electromagnetic waves). By analogy , one way of thinking of Black Holes is that they are gravitational whirlpools. In flowing water, which may go over a rocky bed, it creates whirlpools, and objects in space may do the same and create Black Holes.

What could possibly happen if two black holes begin to interact?

They could merge into one. In the process, they would emit strong gravitational waves.


Can a black hole be made to only consume sound waves?

No, a black hole cannot be "made" to consume sound waves. Sound waves are mechanical energy. They must have a physical medium in which to move. The source of the sound energy actually puts that energy into the medium in which it is going to propagate.Black holes have such massive gravity that they deform spacetime to the point that anything near enough (the event horizon) will "slide down" the curve of spacetime and be "swallowed" by the singularity. Understanding this, it is impossible for a black hole to only "trap" or "take in" sound waves. The energy of the sound waves is in the medium through which it is traveling, and it cannot be extracted by gravity leaving only the medium remaining.For information regarding a sonic black hole, use the link below to the related question.


How are sound waves unique?

Sound waves move away from the source of energy, but other sorts of waves move perpendicular (at a right angle) to the energy source
