Question 1 of 5

- Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space and time that travel at the speed of light.
- They are created by the motion of black holes or neutron stars.
- Gravitational waves are extremely weak and difficult to detect.
How many of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c)
What are Gravitational Waves?
Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space and time that travel at the speed of light. They are created by the motion of massive objects, such as black holes or neutron stars, which generate gravitational waves when they orbit or collide with each other.
The science behind Gravitational waves:
According to Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity (1916), any object with mass warps the space-time around it. When two massive objects orbit each other or collide, they produce ripples or waves in space-time that propagate outward at the speed of light.
Gravitational waves are extremely weak and difficult to detect. They were first directly detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015, a century after they were predicted by Einstein’s theory.
