Interaction of electromagnetic perturbations with infalling observers   inside spherical charged black holes
  The electromagnetic radiation that falls into a Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole is known to develop a ``blue sheet'', namely, an infinite concentration of energy density at the Cauchy horizon. The interaction of these divergent electromagnetic fields with infalling matter was recently analyzed (L. M. burko and A. Ori, Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 1064 (1995)). Here, we give a more detailed description of that analysis: We consider classical electromagnetic fields (that were produced during the collapse and then backscattered into the black hole), and investigate the blue-sheet effects of these fields on infalling objects within two simplified models of a classical and a quantum absorber. These effects are found to be finite and even negligible for typical parameters of a supermassive black hole.
