Hi, I'm looking for some help on where to start with this question:
The surface area of a Schwarzschild black hole is [tex]A=16 \pi R^2_c[/tex] where [tex]R_c[/tex] is the distance of the event horizon from the centre of the black hole. Show that for such a hole containing quantized matter, its entropy can be written
[tex]S = \frac{\xi k c}{4\pi h G}A[/tex]
where [tex]\xi[/tex] is a numerical constant.
I know that the enropy of a change is
[tex]S = \int_{initial}^{final} \frac{Q_{rev}}{T}[/tex]
and can show that using the de Broglie relation
[tex]\lambda dB <= 2R_c = \frac{4GM}{c^2}[/tex]
the energy is
[tex]\frac{hc^3}{4GM} <= E[/tex]
But I'm not sure where to go with proving that the entropy is the equation given.
