What is the relationship between the size of the instrument and the wavelength you want to measure? Both in general relativity and in other areas.
For the same reason that one cannot make a piccolo sound like a tuba.accdd said:Why do we need large instruments to detect waves with large wavelengths? Why can't we detect smaller wavelength waves with large instruments (and viceversa)?
It depends upon what you are trying to optimize. There are fundamental limits that deal with noise and information. Resonance allows maximizing signal to noise but the cost is specificity of detection.accdd said:I have also read that some instruments must have dimensions comparable to the wavelength that allows the phenomenon of resonance. What are the general principles for sizing an instrument?
