Resent scientific progress has suggested that gravitational waves can, under certain conditions, be reflected in a similar manner to electromagnetic waves. As a consequence, it is necessary for scientists to begin incorporating the theories of electromagnetic wave optics unto gravitational waves in order to better understand their physical behavior. This manuscript attempts to extrapolate the behavior of a gravitational wave trapped in a Fabry–Pérot cavity by utilizing theories used to model an electromagnetic wave trapped under similar conditions. Using classical optical theories, it is determined that a pair of microscopic black holes with a mass of ~7.38 × 10¹⁴ kg separated by a distance of 1 micron would generate a gravitation wave of approximately 100 GHz. Moreover, the shortcomings of classical theories of gravity are discussed as they are applied to microscopic scales.
