Question
An initial barrier to deriving this phenomenon arose from infinite frequency field modes occurring at sub-Planck length. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this phenomenon that is analogous to the Unruh effect. The “information paradox” concerns the possible ability of this phenomenon to transmit data past the event horizon.
ANSWER: Hawking radiation [prompt on, but DO NOT REVEAL, blackbody radiation]
[10e] The time needed for a black hole to dissipate from Hawking radiation is proportional to this quantity. This quantity’s value for the sun, which is around 300,000 times as large as that for the earth, is used as a reference in astronomy.
ANSWER: mass [accept solar mass]
[10h] This process at the event horizon causes the emission of Hawking radiation. In supergiant stars, this process is hypothesized to cause a sudden lowering of pressure which then generates a supernova.
ANSWER: pair production
