Question 1
Gravitational wave detectors work using two arms. In the LIGO it consists of mirrors
that allow the laser beam to shine in both ends. Immediately there is a gravitational wave passing
through the squashing and the stretching; it alternatively makes the arms of the LPO to shorten or
straighten. One arm shrinks while the other stretches and vice versa. The variations in the arms
cause what is known as interference pattern to the beam because they are no longer in there or
phase. The measure of the difference between the two arms becomes proportional to the strength
of the passing gravitational wave between the arms (LIGO, n.d.). The detection of the LIGO
specimen is so compe...
