Some basic aspects of the theory of gravitational waves are scrutinized, and the properties of gravitational and electromagnetic waves are compared. It is shown that gravitational waves are an inevitable consequence of relativity theory, but that a distinct analogy between the two types of waves becomes apparent in cases where a comparison is meaningful (e.g., weak gravitational waves against a fixed or slowly varying background). The effectiveness of possible astronomic and laboratory sources of gravitational radiation is assessed, and the principles of operation and the sensitivity of gravitational wave detection systems are examined, with particular reference to electromagnetic detection systems. A laboratory experiment based on the use of a source and detector of electromagnetic type is described.
