| contents | The curved spacetime induced by gravitational waves can give rise to visual effects such as geometric distortions and redshift structures in the observed image. By establishing a mapping from the object's surface coordinates to the observer's screen coordinates, we study these effects in the context of plane gravitational waves. The simulation reveals that the image of an object doesn't merely seem compressed or stretched, but rather appears twisted and wobbled. Furthermore, the redshift structure on the object's surface appears to rotate as a whole. This outcome offers an intuitive depiction of the lensing effect in plane gravitational wave spacetimes. |
