In an indirect way, yes. Gama rays are the highest-intensity form of electromagnetic energy. They usually indicate a very power energy source. Most black holes are formed by exploding stars called supernovas. These events can be detected as gamma ray bursts.

What is it called when a black hole explodes?

One common term used is black hole evaporation. This relates to a mechanism wherein the black hole's mass is gradually lost through Hawking radiation; but the rate of loss is inversely proportional to the black hole's size and thus accelerates as it shrinks. At the moment it vanishes it is thought to do so with a burst of gamma radiation; the Fermi space telescope is intended to search for such gamma flashes.


Why can gamma rays exit a black hole although light can't?

Strictly speaking, gamma rays don't exit a black hole; they are electromagnetic radiation just like visible light - although they carry a higher energy - and neither light nor matter can exit a black hole. However, a black hole can cause gamma radiation to be created near it - for example, by processes at quasars or active galactic nuclei, which, powered by a supermassive black hole, can generate immensely powerful jets or beams which can accelerate particles to relativistic speeds, boost lower energy photons, and generate powerful x-rays and gamma rays. Another possible source of gamma rays is the so-called black hole evaporation, through which a black hole could potentially lose its mass and end its life with an explosive gamma burst.


How does a black hole admit gamma rays?

Just like any matter, light or other electromagnetic waves (this includes gamma rays), if they happen to get within the black hole's event horizon, will just get absorbed, slightly increasing the mass of the black hole.


What becomes of gamma radiation emitted by black holes?

Gamma radiation emitted by black holes can originate from the accretion disk around the black hole or from high-energy processes within the black hole itself. This radiation can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole and travel through space, potentially affecting nearby objects or being detected by telescopes as a signature of black hole activity.


What comes after a black hole dies?

* Nothing can survive a black hole. Some people think if you put 1 million objects in a black hole, they survive the event horizon(edge of black hole) but only one survives the singularity(the point where the othere 999,999 are crushed into atoms).

What would happen if you shot a black hole straight though the center with a gamma ray burst?

The gamma rays would be absorbed, the black hole's mass would increase.


What is the brilliant light given off by a black hole?

Its Gamma burst Ray which comes from the center of the universe.


What is the age of the average black hole?

Unless scientists were to detect the gamma-ray burst that might herald the birth of a new black hole, there is not even a theoretical way to measure the age of a black hole. So the answer to this question, like so many questions in astrophsyics these days, is "We don't know".

What is a gamma-ray burst, and how does it happen?

It happens when two gamma rays come from different stars and collide and make a big explosion . A gamma ray burst is when two gamma rays come from different stars and collide and make a big explosion. BOOM


What would happen if a black hole exploded and released all of its gravitational energy?

If a black hole were to explode and release all of its gravitational energy, it would result in a powerful and destructive event known as a gamma-ray burst. This burst of energy would be extremely intense and could have significant impacts on surrounding objects in space.

What happens after a supernova of a very massive star?

After a supernova of a very massive star, the core collapses to form either a neutron star or a black hole. The outer layers of the star are ejected into space, enriching the surrounding environment with heavy elements. A bright burst of radiation, known as a gamma-ray burst, may also be emitted during this process.

How does a quasar burst away from a black hole if the black hole has infinite gravity?

It's only infinite around the event horizon.


Can gamma ray pass through black hole?

No. Nothing can pass through a black hole. Once something enters it can never leave.
