Do all gravity waves have the same frequency?

Might one utilize hydrodynamic simulation to address the question of whether frequency scales with mass; and it's application to gravitational physics? For example, dropping a small versus large mass into a liquid, and in comparison to 10 mile diameter meteor impact in ocean. Amplitude would seem to scale in regards to mass; why might not part of energy be distributed into frequency? Then do all gravity waves from coalesing black holes cases (with different total masses) have the same frequency? Also do tsusami all have the same frequency?

Am unsure what your earlier questions are...but answer is NO to this part...in general they differ in frequency and of course amplitude.

I think maybe you are wondering something about how the mass of water displaced in a tsunami is related to the size of the wave created. yes it is...your statement

seems accurate, but the "frequency" depends on the speed of displacement and the density of the liquid, right?...and other factors.

See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsunami#Characteristics

to start: look at the animatied illustration to the right...you can see DEPTH affects frequency...also many different mechanisms can create a tsunami...see the description of tsunami's in oceans...lakes...seismic activity...cliffs falling into water...etc...

Scientists hunting for evidence of gravitational waves have to guess at the approximate magnitude and frequency of waves...guess at phenomena originating them...in order to design detector apparatus.

Maybe this helps??:

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
