Black holes do not radiate in the way you seem to think. Deducing the frequency of Hawking Radiation apparently is quite complex.petrushkagoogol said:Does the nature of radiation emitted by dense bodies like black holes differ in frequency from radiation emitted by regular stars like our Sun ? I believe that the former radiates more x-rays and high frequencies rather than the latter which radiates mainly uv, visible and infrared ranges. Is this so ?

The nature of radiation emanating from a body refers to the type of energy that is being emitted. This can include electromagnetic radiation such as light, radio waves, and x-rays, as well as particles such as alpha and beta particles.
The frequency of radiation is directly related to its nature. This means that different types of radiation have different frequencies. For example, x-rays have a higher frequency than radio waves, and gamma rays have an even higher frequency than x-rays.
The main difference between low and high frequency radiation is the amount of energy being emitted. Low frequency radiation, such as radio waves, have longer wavelengths and lower energy levels. High frequency radiation, like gamma rays, have shorter wavelengths and higher energy levels.
The frequency of radiation can play a role in its potential health effects. High frequency radiation, like gamma rays, have more energy and can be more harmful to living organisms. However, the potential health effects also depend on the duration and intensity of exposure.
Yes, the frequency of radiation can be measured using different tools and instruments. For example, a Geiger counter can measure the frequency of radioactive particles, while a spectrometer can measure the frequency of electromagnetic radiation. These measurements can provide important information about the nature and potential effects of radiation.
