eppose you send a space probe to explore a blackhole whose mass is 1 million Mo. The probe falls into a circular orbit around the blackhole at a distance of 10 AU from it. Can you communicate with the probe by sending radio waves to and from it? a) Yes, because it is orbiting outside the event horizon. b) No, because it is orbiting inside the event horizon. c) Maybe, it would depend on the wavelength of the radio waves. d) Not engugh information is given to determine an answer.
