Quasinormal modes of nonlinear electromagnetic black holes from unstable null geodesics

The expressions for the quasinormal modes (QNM) of black holes with nonlinear electrodynamics, calculated in the eikonal approximation, are presented. In the eikonal limit QNM of black holes are determined by the parameters of the circular null geodesics. The unstable circular null orbits are derived from the effective metric that is the one obeyed by light rays under the influence of a nonlinear electromagnetic field. As an illustration we calculate the QNM of four nonlinear electromagnetic black holes, two singular and two regular, namely, from Euler-Heisenberg and Born-Infeld theories, for singular ones, and the magnetic Bardeen black hole and the one derived by Bronnikov for regular ones. Comparing with the QNM of the linear electromagnetic counterpart, their Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole is done.
