traveling gravitational wave


Recommended Posts

what would happen to a gravity wave traveling through space and passing the region of a black hole?  In considering the part of the wave which intersects the hole, does the hole swallow that part of the wave like any physical object ? If so, does the wave energy add mass to the hole? Thanks.

Ya, it basically swallows it just like energy-mass or light.
