How do black holes emit radiation if nothing can escape their gravitational pull?

A) Through a process called Hawking radiation, where particles near the black hole's edge escape.

B) By converting their gravitational energy directly into light.

C) By absorbing surrounding stars and emitting their energy.

D) By generating electromagnetic waves from their core.

Answer Loacted Below!

Answer:

A) Through a process called Hawking radiation, where particles near the black hole's edge escape.

Explanation: Black holes emit radiation through Hawking radiation. This happens when pairs of particles form near the event horizon, with one particle falling in and the other escaping. The escaping particle can be detected as radiation, allowing black holes to gradually lose mass over time. This effect arises from quantum particles interacting with the intense gravitational field near the black hole.
