This page contains hints, solutions, and advanced challenges for our diffraction grating challenge. If you would like a grating (or a set for your class if you are a teacher), please contact us at ...

Visual demonstration of the performance of the diffraction grating. The zeroth order transmission refers to light that goes straight through the grating without undergoing diffraction (which should be ...

Sunlight appears white because it is a mixture of countless colors of light, so when light is reflected in a way that breaks down that white light, it appears rainbow-colored. When white light is ...

Diffraction gratings are curious things. Score a series of equally spaced tiny lines in a surface, and it will cause reflected or transmitted light to bend and separate into its component wavelengths.

Holographic and Ruled diffraction gratings are available from Optometrics for use in high-level spectroscopy, alongside our Echelle, Filtered and Transmission gratings. One of the few gratings ...

Modern Canadian plastic money (specifically the Frontiers series) has a diffractive element in it as a security feature. When a laser beam shines through the maple leaf on the bill, it produces a ...
