The Connection Between Entropy and the Absorption Spectra of Schwarzschild Black Holes for Light and Massless Scalar Fields

We present heuristic arguments suggesting that if EM waves with wavelengths somewhat larger than the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole were fully absorbed by it, the second law of thermodynamics would be violated, under the Bekenstein interpretation of the area of a black hole as a measure of its...
