I think I am wrong in what I am about to say so I someone could explain relatively simply where I went wrong I would be thankful... When light travels towards a black hole it's wavelength increases it's frequency and decreases it's wavelength due to the increase in energy. Because a black hole...

Why does the light get trapped in the event horizon, there must be enough energy to do so and therefore enough to break the speed of light

Thank you, this is teaching me a lot, however, it does not explain why the light would not change into either a block or a straight line. Also if the wavelength is being constantly shortened at an infinite rate how does the light go anywhere as the speed of light is not infinite

If giving energy to light does not change its speed, how does a photon traveling directly away from a black hole not detectable? While its wavelength is changing it will still be readable no? IF not then why not? and if the wavelength change is infinite surely it becomes either a flat line, not...

Ok I have a question regarding black holes and light. If a photon is traveling directly towards the centre of a black hole, when it comes within its gravitational pull, theoretically it is being given GPE therefore it must go faster than the speed of light because a black hole has enough energy...
