Abstract

A new algorithm for computing the accurate values of quasinormal frequencies of extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black holes is presented. The numerically computed values are consistent with the values earlier obtained by Leaver and those obtained through the WKB method. Our results are more precise than other results known to date. We also find a curious fact that the resonant frequencies of gravitational waves with multi-pole index ll coincide with those of electromagnetic waves with multi-pole index l1l-1 in the extremal limit.
