What is the equation for the energy/frequency of Hawking radiation emitted from a black hole?
Thank you in advance!

EDIT: I found this http://library.thinkquest.org/C007571/english/advance/core5.htm but the website doesn't seem to be a legitimate source and it doesn't give the derivation of the formula.

EDIT: Oh, and I would also like to know how far away from the event horizon is Hawking radiation emitted.
