Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:
  • A black hole can lose energy as radiation as per the quantum mechanical model. This happens through pair production. One of the particles created will escape before reaching the event horizon and will carry some of the black hole's energy. 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.
