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 کاملVector of Spin Angular Momentum
he electron is a remarkably simple particle of matter. It has mass T and an electric charge; it spins (or seems to spin) with a b e d amount of angular momentum, and it has a magnetic moment, so that an external magnetic field exerts a twisting force on it. These four quantities constitute all the known properties of the electron; once their values have been established there is nothing more to...
متن کاملSpin-induced angular momentum switching.
When light is transmitted through optically inhomogeneous and anisotropic media the spatial distribution of light can be modified according to its input polarization state. A complete analysis of this process, based on the paraxial approximation, is presented, and we show how it can be exploited to produce a spin-controlled change in the orbital angular momentum of light beams propagating in pa...
متن کاملCritical gravitational collapse with angular momentum
Critical collapse in general relativity refers to phenomena that occur at the threshold, in the space of initial data, between data that lead to black hole formation (collapse) and those that do not. Regular initial data can be classified as supercritical or subcritical according to whether or not they form a black hole. We refer to the boundary between supercritical and subcritical data as the...
متن کاملAngular momentum effects in weak gravitational fields
It is shown that, contrary to what is normally expected, it is possible to have angular momentum effects on the geometry of space time at the laboratory scale, much bigger than the purely Newtonian effects. This is due to the fact that the ratio between the angular momentum of a body and its mass, expressed as a length, is easily greater than the mass itself, again expressed as a length.
