Hey everyone,
I have a quick question. I have to find out how hot a cloud of material falling into a black hole would become. I have a hint that it is due to the gain in kinetic energy the material experiences as it falls in, but I'm not sure how to relate the two. Also, I have to find the peak wavelength that would radiate if the material emitted as a blackbody, but I'm assuming I can just use Wein's law once I know the temperature.
Thanks!
