It would not accelerate because it does not go straight in.As it turns out ,nothing does.Everything that goes in spirals in , like water going down a drain.

If space time is the tub or sink ,the black hole is the drain and the matter (in this case light)is the water,the water spirales in.It would look to an outside observer like the light is turning red. This is because it decelerates.If light sped up it would be able to escape the black hole and we would see the black hole and it would not be a black hole.

How would falling into a black hole feel like?

You would die quickly, either before, or after, falling into the black hole, depending on the mass of the black hole.


How do scientists know black holes exist if these objects don't emit visible light?

They don't directly emit light, but anything falling into them will emit strong electromagnetic radiation - due to the acceleration of the matter falling into the black hole. Also, the black hole attracts all matter near it.


What happens to the frequency of light emitted from the vicinity of a black hole Why and What happens to the frequency of light falling into a black hole What would you call this effect?

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.


What would be the visual effect of a flashing red light falling into a black hole when viewed from a distance?

The flashing red light falling into a black hole would appear to slow down and eventually stop as it approaches the event horizon. The light would also become increasingly redshifted, appearing redder and dimmer to an observer from a distance.


What is the difference between a black hole's photon sphere and its event horizon?

A black hole's photon sphere is the region around the black hole where photons can orbit in a stable circular path. The event horizon is the boundary beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole. In simpler terms, the photon sphere is where light can circle the black hole before falling in, while the event horizon marks the point of no return.


Can you see a black hole in outer space?

Not directly. If large amounts of matter is falling into the black hole it will heat up and glow brightly. You could also potentially see the distortion of light around the black hole, but you'd have to get pretty close to see that.


How close can you get to a black hole without falling in?

You can get as close as you want, as long as your tangential speed is high enough to maintain an orbit. Inside of some distance, that'll require the speed of light (or more). The distance depends on the mass of the black hole.


What observations do astromomers use to infer the existence of black holes?

Matter falling into the black hole will emit X-rays. The matter is subject to tremendous acceleration before falling into the event horizon.The black hole will still attract surrounding objects, which may be in orbit around it. In some cases (especially the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy), a black hole is the only reasonable explanation for the observed orbit (a mass of about 4 million solar masses, and a diameter of a few light-hours at most).Also, observations of gravitational lensing. The black hole's gravity will distort the light coming from objects behind it.A black hole can not be truly seen but what astronomers do look for manly is the event horizon it is the very edge of the black hole ... the event horizon is noticed when light droops and bends in to the black hole ...


How does light calculate in a black hole?

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


Is a black hole faster than light?

No, a black hole is not faster than light.


How can you in notice a black hole in the space if it absorbs all the light?

we can notice by the effect it causes on the nearby stars. A star which is near a black hole revolves around it and when it is closer to a black hole ,it revolvles faster and it revolves slower when it is farther away from a black hole.Secondly, we can notice a black hole by the space distortion it creates. Thirdly, we can notice it by finding the amount of gas of nearby stars falling into the black hole


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.
