Light is energy without a rest mass -

but it does have a mass equivalent due to the energy it contains.

A black hole warps the space around itself, thus causing "light rays" to be bent toward it.

Why is light attracted to a black hole?

Light is not only attracted to a black hole, in fact, its attracted to you, to me and to everything made of matter in the universe. The problem is that light is affected by gravity, and the black holes have so much that light significantly change trajectory or the black holes absorb the photons


What is attracted to black holes?

the gravity from a black hole is so strong, its pulls in everything, and not even light can escape


Why is light increasingly redshifted as it approaches a black hole?

Light is increasingly redshifted as it approaches a black hole due to the strong gravitational pull of the black hole. This gravitational pull causes the light waves to stretch out, which results in the light being shifted towards the red end of the spectrum.


Where does the big black hole end?

The term black hole is a misnomer that implies the notion of a hole; there is no hole, so there is no end (or exit). A black hole is a spherical volume of immense density. Somewhat like the Earth, everything within its gravitational field is attracted to its essense. And just as pressure increases towards the center of Earth, the pressure increases on a more more dramatic scale towards the center of a black hole. However since the subsistence of a black hole is unknown, it might be said that the black hole ends in energy transformation.


What is the impact of a black hole's gravitational pull on nearby objects and light?

A black hole's gravitational pull is extremely strong, causing nearby objects and light to be pulled towards it with great force. This can result in objects being stretched and torn apart, and light being bent or absorbed by the black hole.


Why do black holes attract light?

According to the particle theory of light, light is made us of particles called photon. Black hole has very high gravity. Its escape velocity being more than that of speed of light, light is attracted towards it and it even cannot escape by lunizah: black holes attract every thing even the light because they have a very strong attractive force and that's the reason why black holes attract light!! ^_^


What thing is in black hole?

A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. The "thing" inside a black hole is thought to be a singularity, a point of infinite density where the laws of physics as we currently understand them break down.


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.


Why can't objects come out from the black hole?

Within the so-called event horizon, space and time around the black hole are distored in such a way that the only way a ray of light (for example) can move is closer towards the black hole's center.


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.


Can you make light circular?

Only around a black hole. There is a sphere around every black hole where light orbits the black hole.
