The naive calculation of black hole evaporation makes the thermal emission depend on the arbitrary high frequency behaviour of the theory where the theory is certainly wrong. Using the sonic analog to black holes-- dumb holes-- I show numerically that a change in the dispersion relation at high frequencies does not seem to alter the evaporation process, lending weight to the reality of the black hole evaporation process. I also suggest a reason for the insensitivity of the process to high frequency regime.

    For even convex polynomially bounded dispersion relations, an effective horizon controls the outgoing modes so that Bogoliubov coefficients agree with the tunneling result and the emission spectrum deviates from exact...
