Entropy of a Schwarzchild black hole

[johnwalton84]

Hi, I'm looking for some help on where to start with this question:

The surface area of a Schwarzschild black hole is A=16 \pi R^2_c where R_c 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

S = \frac{\xi k c}{4\pi h G}A

where \xi is a numerical constant.



I know that the enropy of a change is

S = \int_{initial}^{final} \frac{Q_{rev}}{T}

and can show that using the de Broglie relation

\lambda dB <= 2R_c = \frac{4GM}{c^2}

the energy is

\frac{hc^3}{4GM} <= E

But I'm not sure where to go with proving that the entropy is the equation given.

It looks like you got your Latex wrong. Change the [\tex] to [/tex].

S_{Beckenstein-Hawking}=\frac{A}{4\hbar}

is more likely defined...

In the section 12.5 of his book [1],Wald shows that the first law of thermodynamics for a black hole can be written

dM=\frac{1}{8\pi}\kappa dA+\Omega_{H}dJ

Ok, that's helpful, thanks. I assume \Omega_{H}dJ represents work done.

Does that mean the two forms

dM = \frac{K dA}{8\pi} + work
dE = T dS + work

could be equated?

dE - T dS = dM - \frac{K dA}{8\pi}

 

[dextercioby]

Yes,TdS=\frac{1}{8\pi}\kappa dA

And one more thing,it's Karl Schwarzschild.
