Abstract

This article presents the calculation of gravitational and electromagnetic radiation emitted from a classical simple harmonic oscillator (SHO). Here we show only the selected formulae and apply them to a toy problem without rigorous derivation. First, we calculate the explicit expressions for the gravitational waves polarizations and then obtain the power radiated away in gravitational waves using Brans-Dicke theory (BD). We also calculate the electromagnetic dipole and quadrupole power emitted by the SHO and compare them with their gravitational counterparts.
