What type of waves did Chandrasekhar theorize about collisions between?
Electromagnetic waves
Sound waves
Ocean waves
Gravitational waves
Answer
Chandrasekhar theorized about collisions between gravitational waves. These waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime, and they can be created by the acceleration of massive objects, such as black holes or neutron stars. When two gravitational waves collide, they can produce a burst of energy that can be detected by gravitational wave observatories.
