In this paper, we discuss the interaction of non-Abelian SU(2) Yang-Mills progressive waves with gravitational waves. We solve and obtain solutions to pure Yang-Mills equations in different backgrounds, and perturbative solutions induced due to gravitational waves. These induced solutions show 'beat patterns' and depending on boundary conditions, changes in frequency. We find that in the symmetry broken phase of the gauge fields, the interactions are perturbative only for an infinitesimal time. The system has to be studied using non-perturbative methods for predicting new observational physics in colliders.
