- how very long wavelengths would interact with a black hole
Can electromagnetic radiation escape from the event horizon of a Black Hole if the wavelength is long enough?
What if a Black Hole contains electric charge, hypothetically supposing we dumped a large number of protons into it? Electric charge is mediated by the electromagnetic force. So the outside would not be able to feel any electric charge unless photons were able to permeate the boundary. (and we can say that the photons mediating static charges have extremely long wavelengths)
How can a photon with a wavelength longer than the diameter of the event horizon fit inside it?Some will claim "no energy can escape from a black hole", but here's one more thought experiment scenario to consider:
What if two black holes are circling each other very fast in a very tight orbit, one is positively charged and the other is negatively charged? You do not think that is going to be able to radiate electromagnetic energy? (it seems obvious to me it would. Hope that's not a false equivalency straw man though)
