Gravitational waves 27 december 2017.

The wave-lengths of gravitational waves emitted in such merger events are typically of the same order as the dimension of the system. That is, for black holes with masses between 10 and 100 times the solar mass, wavelengths are typically a hundred to a thousand km – right in the range that LIGO is most sensitive.Feb 10, 2016

Are gravity waves longitudinal or transverse?

Are gravity waves longitudinal or transverse?

Gravitational waves are transverse but their possible polarizations are described not by a transverse vector but by a transverse tensor. Electromagnetic waves moving in the z direction may have two possible polarization vectors x or y, or their (complex) linear combinations – vectors perpendicular to the z axis.Jun 25, 2014

How fast is a gravitational wave?

The speed of gravitational waves in the general theory of relativity is equal to the speed of light in a vacuum, c. Within the theory of special relativity, the constant c is not exclusively about light; instead it is the highest possible speed for any interaction in nature.

What is the frequency of a gravity wave?

There are plenty of references made to the frequency. The gravitational waves that were detected swept up in frequency and amplitude from an undetectable level at a few tens of Hz to abut 150 Hz as the black holes merged. This is known as a "chirp". Gravitational wave sources might have a variety of frequencies.Apr 5, 2016

Gravitational wave - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave

When they reach the Earth, they have a small amplitude with strain approximates 10⁻²¹, meaning that an extremely sensitive detector is needed, and that other sources of noise can overwhelm the signal. Gravitational waves are expected to have frequencies 10⁻¹⁶ Hz < f < 10⁴ Hz.
