Redshift/blueshift inside the Schwarzschild black hole

16 Apr 2020  ·  Zaslavskii O. B. ·

We consider an observer who moves under the horizon of the Schwarzschild black hole and absorbs a photon. There are two different situations when (i) a photon comes from infinity, (ii) it is emitted by another observer under the horizon (say, by a surface of a collapsing star). We analyze the frequency change for absorption near the event horizon, in an intermediate region and near the singularity and compare the results for both scenarios. Near the singularity, in both scenarios infinite redshift (in the pure radial case) or infinite blueshift are possible, depending on angular momenta of a photon and an observer. The main difference between both scenarios manifests itself, if photons from the star surface are emitted near the horizon and received in the intermediate region or near the singularity by the observer with a nonzero angular momentum.
