In the weak field approximation, the Einstein field equations can be solved, and lead to the prediction of gravitational waves. After showing that gravitational radiation depends on changing quadrupole moments, this chapter describes the production, propagation, and detection of gravitational waves. It includes discussions of the speed of gravity, detectors, the “chirp” waveform for a compact binary system, and the nature of astrophysical sources.
