This letter aims to show the connection between the sinc approximation for high-energy absorption cross section and the shadow radius of the spherically symmetric black hole. This connection can give a physical interpretation of the absorption cross section in the eikonal limit parameters. Moreover, the use of this alternative way, one can extract its shadow radius from the absorption cross section in high energy limits to gain more information about the black hole spacetime. Our results indicate that the increasing the value of the shadow radius of the black hole, exponentially increase the the absorption cross section of the black hole in high-energy limits which can be captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration.

The behavior of a Dirac field in a Schwarzschild black hole spacetime is studied. In this work the Hawking temperature and the absorption cross-section for Schwarzschild black hole placed in Dirac field are calculated, taking into consideration the matter waves reflected from the event horizon. The absorption cross-section σ abs in Dirac field is found to be ⅛ of absorption cross-section in scalar field. The emission spectra of Schwarzschild black hole placed in an environment of Dirac field is also obtained.

We investigate null geodesics impinging parallel to the rotation axis of a Kerr–Newman black hole, and show that the absorption cross section for a massless scalar field in the eikonal limit can be described in terms of the photon orbit parameters. We compare our sinc and low-frequency approximations with numerical results, showing that they are in excellent agreement.

The behavior of a charged scalar field in the RN black hole space–time is studied using the WKB approximation. In the present work, it is assumed that matter waves can be reflected from the event horizon. Using this effect, the Hawking temperature and the absorption cross section for an RN black hole placed in a charged scalar field are calculated. The absorption cross section σabs is found to be inversely proportional to the square of the Hawking temperature of the black hole.
