Browse Hierarchy SPA7019P: Relativity and Gravitation

Back to NS-SPCS-PHAS: Department of Physics and Astronomy
This module starts with mathematics and principles required to formulate general relativity, before moving on to consider how the theory describes empty space, black holes, and the generation of gravitational waves. The motion of particles and the propagation and observation of rays of light is discussed. The module covers both strong gravitational fields (as found near black holes), and weak gravitational fields (as found in the solar system). The module ends with a discussion of the detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration.
