Fermi normal co-ordinate system and electromagnetic detectors of gravitational waves

II. Interaction with a static electromagnetic field

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The perturbations induced by a monochromatic gravitational wave on a static electromagnetic field are calculated in a Fermi normal co-ordinate system. It is shown that the perturbations are transverse with respect to the propagation direction of the wave and there is no interaction between the wave and the static longitudinal electromagnetic field.

Riassunto

Si calcolano le perturbazioni causate da un’onda gravitazionale incidente su di un campo elettromagnetico statico in un sistema di coordinate normali di Fermi. Si trova che tali perturbazioni sono trasversali rispetto alla propagazione dell’onda gravitazionale e non vi è alcuna interazione tra onda gravitazionale e campo elettromagnetico statico longitudinale.
