The electromagnetic radiation induced by a gravitational wave incident on a point charge and a static point dipole is calculated using a multipole expansion of the fields. The calculation is easily extended to the case of a relativistic source. The presence of this radiation does not violate the principle of equivalence. Estimates are made of the electromagnetic radiation induced by a plane gravitational wave incident on a plasma. For hot plasmas the radiated power can be considerably enhanced; however, it is still rather small and the frequency of the radiation would probably be too low for this process to be of any astrophysical significance.
