If space is transparent how can we not view light from a black hole
Space is transparent so they do not have to reflect light they capture light with gravity so we should be able to see themIbix said:They do not emit or reflect light, so there is nothing to see.
While space is generally considered to be transparent, it is not completely empty. There are still particles and gases present in space that can absorb or scatter light, making it difficult to see objects like black holes.
Black holes are known for their powerful gravitational pull, which can be so strong that it can even trap light. This means that the light emitted from a black hole cannot escape, making it impossible for us to see it.
While black holes are known for absorbing light, they can also emit light in some cases. This light is known as Hawking radiation and is only visible in certain conditions, making it difficult for us to view it from Earth.
Scientists have developed special telescopes and equipment that can detect and capture light from black holes. However, due to the immense distance between us and black holes, it is still challenging to view this light clearly.
While we may not be able to directly see light from black holes, we can observe their effects on their surroundings. For example, the gravitational pull of a black hole can cause stars and gas to orbit around it, which can be detected by telescopes and other instruments.
