Ehlers and Kundt have provided an approximate procedure to demonstrate that
gravitational waves impart momentum to test particles. This was extended to
cylindrical gravitational waves by Weber and Wheeler. Here a general, exact,
formula for the momentum imparted to test particles in arbitrary spacetimes is
presented.
