The analysis of energy transfer between the electromagnetic wave and the gravitation field is presented. In case of accounting for the imaginary part in the relation for the refractive index of space filled with the gravitation field, the effect of electromagnetic wave absorption induced by this field is possible. The process of energy transfer between the g-quantum and the gravitation field is described. Interaction of the g-quantum with the gravitation field is shown to lead to a lose of the g-quantum energy and an increase in the gravitation mass. It is demonstrated that, in case of the gravitation field of collapsed star having the mass compared with the solar mass, the g-quantum energy needed for creating the additional mass equal to the electron one should be only W=1.32*105eV. The equation for the gravitation radius, which is derived following from the relation for electromagnetic wave polarization, with accounting for its imaginary part responsible for the absorption and assuming that the absorption coefficient of the black holes is equal to unity, turns out to be the same as the equation obtained on the basis of general relativity theory.
