Using standard coordinates, the Maxwell equations in Reissner-Nordström geometry are written in terms of a couple of scalar fields satisfying Klein-Gordon-like equations. The density of states is derived in the semiclassical approximation and the first quantum correction to black hole entropy is computed by using the brick-wall model.
