12-10. Show that the the slopes of the curves of ¢ vs. r of non-radial light rays in an Eddington-Finkelstein diagram like Figure 12.2 must lie within the light cones defined by the radial light rays. Solution: Without loss of generality, we can take the non-radial light rays to lie in the equatorial plane. Then the condition ds? = 0 for light rays becomes ds? =~ ( = a) dv? + 2dudr + r2dg? =0. Divide by dr? and solve for dv/dr to find 6-2)" ffo(-29 -G)]] In the radial case the + sign corresponds to outgoing light rays r > 2M and the — to ingoing, v = const. one. The quantity inside the square bracket is always larger for non-radial light rays d/dr # 0 than for radial ones. This can be seen to mean that the trajectories of non-radial light rays always lie within the light cones of the radial ones in the (é,r) plane.

Two observers in two rockets are hovering above a Schwarzschild black hole of mass M. They hover at a fixed radius R such that R § naw 2 ( )¢ a) and fixed angular position. (In fact, R © 216M). The first observer leaves this position at t = 0 and travels into the black hole on a straight line in a Kruskal diagram unti] destroyed in the singularity at the point where the singularity crosses the line U = 0. The other observer continues to hover at a) On a Kruskal diagram sketch the world lines of the two observers. 4) Is the observer who goes into the black hole following a timelike world line? ¢} What is the latest Schwarzschild time after the frst observer departs that the other observer can send a light signal which will reach the first before being destroyed in the singularity? Solution: 176 Vg 7 b) The straight line has a slope of 2 which means the observer is within the 45° lines which are the light cones. | ¢) The latest time is the value of t at which the 45° dotted line from U = 0, V = 1 intersects the curve r = R.
