Does the term 'Tensor Waves' exist, & if so, does anyone have any useful links to the definition, & the use of such phenomena?

Thanks so much.

I've never heard the term. However, there certainly can be propagating wave modes of tensors. For example, gravitational waves are propagating perturbations of the metric tensor.

Thread 'Off resonance driving of a MW/RF cavity'

Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
