general relativity - Why does LIGO have an arm length of few
kilometers? Is the distance dependent on Gravitational Wave wavelength?
Antennas for capturing radio waves need to have $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ length for optimum reception of signal. Does it imply LIGO arm length is $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ of Gravitational Wave it is trying to capture?
