Resonant Mass Interferometry

Home > Space Sciences > Gravitational Waves > Interferometry > Resonant Mass Interferometry

This method involves using massive objects, such as spheres or cylinders, that are held in a state of resonance by applying a small amount of energy. Gravitational waves passing through the object cause it to vibrate, which changes the resonance frequency of the object. This change can be detected by measuring the changes in the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the object.
