AbstractIt is well known that electromagnetic and gravitational waves scatter as well as get converted to one another by a charged black hole.  We demonstrate that the electromagnetic and gravitational scattering and conversion cross sections for the extremely charged black hole are identical by relating these cross sections to the scattering cross section for gravitino waves through supersymmetry.
