Gravitational Wave Detectors and Their Sensitivity
Description: This quiz is designed to assess your knowledge of gravitational wave detectors and their sensitivity. Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime caused by the acceleration of massive objects. The detection of gravitational waves has opened up a new window into the universe, allowing us to study phenomena such as black hole mergers and neutron star collisions. | |
