High School Gravity waves and Planck's constant

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between gravitational waves and Planck's constant. While energy in quantum mechanics is linked to Planck's constant, gravitational waves are described by general relativity, which does not incorporate quantum mechanics. Therefore, Planck's constant does not play a role in the analysis of gravitational waves until a theory of quantum gravity is established. The question posed lacks clarity, as the connection between the two concepts is not straightforward. Ultimately, while it is formally possible to relate the two, the significance of doing so remains questionable.

Can the energy of a gravitational wave be related to Plancks constant?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
In a quantum mechanical analysis the energy of everything is related to Planck's constant, so if we're doing a quantum mechanical analysis of gravitational waves Planck's constant would be involved.

However, gravitational waves are predicted by and analyzed using general relativity which is not a quantum-mechanical theory, so Planck's constant isn't involved. It wil only come in when we develop a successful theory of quantum gravity.
 
I don't think this question is clear. I think you have some idea in mind, but that's not what you wrote.

Planck's constant is a constant. You can always multiply or divide by a constant - just like the number 4. So while the answer to your question is formally "yes", I don't think there is any meaning to it.

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
