Abstract

The relative velocity between objects with finite velocity affects the reaction between them. This effect is known as general Doppler effect. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) discovered gravitational waves and found their speed to be equal to the speed of light c. Gravitational waves are generated following a disturbance in the gravitational field; they affect the gravitational force on an object. Just as light waves are subject to the Doppler effect, so are gravitational waves. This article explores the following research questions concerning gravitational waves: Is there a linear relationship between gravity and velocity? Can the speed of a gravitational wave represent the speed of the gravitational field (the speed of the action of the gravitational field upon the object)? What is the speed of the gravitational field? What is the spatial distribution of gravitational waves? Do gravitational waves caused by the revolution of the Sun affect planetary precession? Can we modify Newton’s gravitational equation through the influence of gravitational waves?

Key Question

What are gravitational fields?

Gravitational fields describe the influence a massive object exerts on space-time, affecting the motion of other objects. The article explains how these fields are central to understanding gravity in the context of general relativity.

What are gravitational waves?

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space-time caused by massive accelerating objects, such as merging black holes. The paper delves into their properties and how they propagate through space.

How are gravitational waves detected?

Gravitational waves are detected using interferometers like LIGO and Virgo, which measure minuscule distortions in space-time caused by passing waves. The article highlights advancements in detection technology.

What are the applications of studying gravitational waves?

Studying gravitational waves allows scientists to observe cosmic events, like black hole mergers and neutron star collisions, providing insights into the universe's evolution and structure.

How do gravitational fields and waves relate to Einstein’s theory of general relativity?

Both gravitational fields and waves are key predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity, which describes how massive objects curve space-time and how changes in these curves propagate as waves.
