\begin{enumerate}
\item Consider a circle with test particles on it. Derive the effect of gravitational wave on the particles on the circle in a proper reference frame of a test particle at the centre of the circle for the following cases.
\begin{itemize}
\item for $"+"$ polarized gravitational waves.
\item for $"\times"$ polarized gravitational waves.
\item for circularly (right and left separately) polarized gravitational waves.
\item for elliptically polarized gravitational waves.
\end{itemize}
\item For GWs at large distances show that $$\left<R^{(2)}_{\mu\nu}\right> =\frac{1}{4}\left<\partial_{\mu}h_{\alpha\beta}\partial_{\nu}h^{\alpha\beta}\right>,$$
$$\left<R^{(2)}\right>=0$$ and show that constructed energy-momentum tensor of GW ($t_{\mu\nu}$) is invariant under residual gauge transformation.
\item Derive that momentum transported (per unit time) by outward propagating GW is
