A description is made of the process of excitation of bound longitudinal-transverse gravitational waves during the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a dielectric medium. It is shown that the speed of such gravitational waves is less than the speed of light in a vacuum and coincides with the speed of an electromagnetic wave in matter. A description of the propagation of a bound gravitational waves in a dielectric in the presence of a constant magnetic field is suggested as well. It is claimed that these gravitational waves in a dielectric medium are forced ones and they cannot exist in a free state. An assessment was also made of the effect of cold magnetized plasma on the characteristics of such gravitational waves.
