general relativity - How do gravitational waves and black holes interact?


Following the first detection of gravitational waves yesterday (11 Feb. 2016) by LIGO, I have a couple of questions about how gravitational waves and black holes interact.


Assume that there is a black-hole in the path of a gravitational wave. What would happen? Would the gravitational wave even "notice" the black-hole?


Can gravitational waves be produced from the "inside" of a black-hole?
