Gravitational Waves: Detection and Analysis
This lecture covers the exercise session for TR2, focusing on the detection and analysis of gravitational waves. The instructor explains the importance of the exercise session for understanding physics concepts through practical application. The session includes discussions on the first direct observation of gravitational waves in 2015, the computation of strain related to black hole mergers, and the measurement of the speed of gravitational waves. Students are guided through exercises involving coordinate systems, elliptic motion, and the relationship between gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation.
