We all know about the gravitational lensing effect. From the analogy of fabric of space time used to explain this concept to laymen like me, iI understand that light follows the curvature of spacetime.

Following on that same line of thought process, gravitational waves would cause the spacetime stretch and squeeze. Would it affect the path of light in any way  ?
