However,the dimensional analysis is a powerful and universal analysis method in physics. Taking the application of
dimensional analysis in gravitational wave physics as an example,this paper makes readers deeply understand the
universality of the dimensional analysis method. In particular,the total mass of a binary black hole is regarded as an
uneccential physical parameter in the process of constructing the theoretical template of gravitational wave for the
binayr black holes system. The reason is rarely mentioned in the usual literature. The method of dimensional
analysis is used to show that the above conclusions are valid even for the gravitational theory beyond general
relativity. Therefore,this paper not only clearly expounds the reasons why the above conclusion holds in the
framework of general relativity,but also provides some guidelines for the establishment of the theoretical template of
gravitational wave based on the gaviational theory beyond general relativity.
