Scientific paper

Based on the analysis of a large sample of RXTE/PCA observations of several black hole binaries in the low spectral state we show that a correlation exists between the spectral parameters and characteristic noise frequency. In particular, the amplitude of reflection increases and the slope of Comptonized radiation steepens as the noise frequency increases. We consider possible implications of these results on the accretion flow models and discuss a possible observational test aimed to discriminate between different geometries of the accretion flow.
