Hawking radiation is a theoretical prediction of blackbody radiation emitted by black holes due to quantum effects near their event horizon, proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking in 1974. This phenomenon leads to black hole evaporation, where the mass of the black hole decreases over time, eventually causing it to disappear. The document also covers the properties and types of black holes, along with resources for further understanding of Hawking radiation.

3. What is Hawking Radiation ?
• Hawking radiation is blackbody radiation that
is predicted to be released by black holes, due
to quantum effects near the event horizon
• named after the physicist Stephen Hawking
• Theoretical argument for its existence was
proposed in 1974

5. Introduction to Black holes
• Region of space resulting from the collapse of
a star
• Region of space with strong gravitational field
that even light cannot escape it.

7. Properties of Black Holes… e.g.
Time dilation,
gravitational redshift,
“spaghettification”
“No hair theorem”
…. Hawking radiation…. Kerr black Holes….

8. Types of black holes
• Stellar : When a super massive star collapse
• Supermassive : likely exist in the centers of
most galaxies
• Miniature : mass much smaller than that of
our Sun (theoretical)

• The energy needed to create the real particles comes from
the gravitational field of the black hole.
• Hence, the emission of Hawking radiation reduces the
mass of the black hole. As the process continues, the black
hole will finally disappear. This is called black hole
evaporation.
• In fact, the time required for evaporation is given by
years
