How do mass and temperature change in black holes due to Hawking Radiation?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the effects of Hawking Radiation on black holes, specifically focusing on how mass and temperature change over time and the calculations involved in these changes. The scope includes theoretical aspects of black hole thermodynamics and mathematical reasoning related to these phenomena.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks clarification on the effects of Hawking Radiation on black holes, particularly how mass and temperature change over time and the calculations for these changes.
  • Another participant questions why the decreases in mass and increases in temperature are described as exponential.
  • A later post provides a mathematical framework, referencing the Bekenstein–Hawking formula and deriving relationships between mass, temperature, and entropy for a Schwarzschild black hole.
  • The same post mentions the Stefan-Boltzmann law to describe the rate of mass loss over time, suggesting a method to calculate these changes.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion includes multiple viewpoints and questions, with no consensus reached on the nature of the exponential changes or the calculations involved.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not fully resolved the assumptions underlying the exponential nature of the changes in mass and temperature, nor have they clarified all mathematical steps in the derivations presented.

Hello, I am rather new to Physics and for a class project on exponential growth and decay in nature and I chose the effects Hawking Radiation on black holes. If anyone could help explain how the mass and temperature change over time and how to calculate them(this one especially) that would be wonderful

Simplified, why are these decreases(in mass) and increases(in heat) expoenential.

According to the Bekenstein–Hawking formula in black hole thermodynamics, $$S=\frac{kAc^3}{4G\hbar}$$ Consider a Schwarzschild black hole, we know that $$r_{\rm g}=\frac{2GM}{c^2},\ A=4\pi r_{\rm g}^2$$ Therefore, we can get $$M^2=\frac{\hbar c^3}{4\pi k_{\rm B} G}S$$ From thermodynamics, we learn that ##{\rm d}M=T{\rm d}S##, so we have $$T=\frac{{\rm d} M}{{\rm d} S}=\frac{\hbar c^3}{8\pi k_{\rm B}G}\frac{1}{M}$$I believe this is what you want.

By the way, according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, $$\frac{{\rm d}M}{{\rm d}t}=-\sigma AT^4$$ and thus you can know how the mass and temperature change over time.
