Addressing identification of possible duplicate and giving more of my thoughts on the question.
Aug 22, 2019 at 6:10 comment added Jagerber48 @G.Smith Thank you for the links. Neither of these answers my question (which is stated as the title.) The stack exchange question seems to assume the frequency of light is not changed by the gravitational wave without any comment about it. I have also been reading the AAPT article you sent. It has some nice discussion that seems relevant to my question but there is no direct discussion of the frequency of light. The conversion from pulses to CW light is made at the end of sec II but it looks like the frequency of light is assumed to be the same in both arms to get the formula for the phase.

Aug 22, 2019 at 3:57 comment added G. Smith Possible duplicate of LIGO flawed by the identical expansion of laser wavelength and arms in presence of a gravitational wave?
