Spin Angular Momentum Imparted by Gravitational Waves
Following the demonstration that gravitational waves impart linear momentum, it is argued that if they are polarized they should impart angular momentum to appropriately placed 'test rods' in their path. A general formula for this angular momentum is obtained and used to provide expressions for the angular momentum imparted by plane and cylindrical gravitational waves. While the plane [1] and c...
متن کاملEnergy-Momentum and Angular Momentum Carried by Gravitational Waves in Extended New General Relativity
In an extended, new form of general relativity, which is a teleparallel theory of gravity, we examine the energy-momentum and angular momentum carried by gravitational wave radiated from Newtonian point masses in a weak-field approximation. The resulting wave form is identical to the corresponding wave form in general relativity, which is consistent with previous results in teleparallel theory....
متن کاملDo waves carrying orbital angular momentum possess azimuthal linear momentum?
All beams are a superposition of plane waves, which carry linear momentum in the direction of propagation with no net azimuthal component. However, plane waves incident on a hologram can produce a vortex beam carrying orbital angular momentum that seems to require an azimuthal linear momentum, which presents a paradox. We resolve this by showing that the azimuthal momentum is not a true linear ...
متن کاملAngular momentum transfer to a star by gravitational waves
and Introduction Interaction of a stochastic background of gravitational radiation with celestial systems changes their dynamical elements in a random manner and give rise to secular changes in time(Berttoti 1973, Mashhoon etal 1981, Khosroshahi and Sobouti 1997). It has been speculated that a study of such secular changes might serve as a possible mean of detecting gravitational radiation. In ...
متن کاملAngular momentum in evanescent waves
We quantize the angular momentum of the electromagnetic field in a linear medium. We consider the interaction of an atom with an evanescent wave. We discuss the transfer of angular momentum in such a wave in relation to some recent experiments.
