Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:
  • A black hole is a point in space-time where the gravitational force is so large that not even light is able to escape the gravitational pull.

 

  • As per the quantum mechanical theory of black holes, pair production takes place near the event horizon from which one particle goes into the black hole while the other escapes. This escaped particle will take some energy from the black hole. This is known as Hawking radiation.

 

  • The time it would take for a black hole to completely evaporate is given by,

t=M033α

Here M0 is the mass of the blackhole and α is a constant with a value of 3.96 × 1015 kg3∙s-1.
