Radial null trajectories in ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates

Radial null curves comprise the ingoing family

v = constant

and the outgoing family

\frac{d r}{d v} = \frac{1}{2} (1 - \frac{2 M}{r}) .

Outside the horizon the outgoing family moves to larger

r

; inside it both future-directed families move to smaller

r

.
