Abstract
The process of conversion of g. waves into e.m. waves is studied in an axisymmetric Bianchi type I universe with a uniform magnetic field. A case is found in which the process is sufficiently effective to maintain a continuous interchange between photons and gravitons. This causes photons and gravitons to have the same frequency.
