Detection of Gravitational Waves, How Close Are We? Since the realization that the general theory of relativity predicts gravitational waves, there have been attempts to actually detect these waves. Indirect observations have been made that support their existence but no direct measurement. This paper gives a brief explanation of gravitational waves and discusses the current condition of the experimental search for gravitational waves. It deals

Impressive experimental exertion is being applied in the quest for gravitational waves, the conviction being that their identification could essentially help the examining of the universe. Be that as it may, starting yet, they have been distinguished just indirectly[1]. The expectation of the presence of gravitational waves comes as an immediate outcome of Einstein's hypothesis of general relativity[1], and measuring such waves stays one the last tests of his theory[2]. As per general relativity

Gravitational waves: Understanding and Detection Final draft Physics 222 November 11, 1999 Aaron Astle Dan Hale Dale Kitchen Wesley Krueger Abstract Gravitational waves carry information about catastrophic events in the universe. We give a brief description of gravitational waves with an overview of the current projects underway to detect them. We begin by discussing the theoretical prediction of gravitational waves from Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. We list several possible

oscillations can be determined by length and gravitational acceleration, and doesn’t depend on mass. In our other activity, we measured the period of an oscillating mass connected to a spring. We had a hanging spring, and hung mass to the bottom of it, each time measuring the change in length of the spring from the time before. To find the spring constant, we used the masses added to calculate each of their elastic forces, by multiplying each by gravitational acceleration, then plotting them with

waveI n physics, a wave is a disturbance or oscillation that travels through spacetime, accompanied by a transfer of energy. Wave motiontransfers energy from one point to another, often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium—that is, with little or no associated mass transport. They consist, instead, of oscillations or vibrations around almost fixed locations. Waves are described by a wave equation which sets out how the disturbance proceeds over time. The mathematical form
