- 1. Basics of Diffraction Grating Understanding the Concept
- 2. What is a Diffraction Grating? • • A device with many closely spaced parallel lines (slits or grooves). • • It diffracts light into multiple directions, creating patterns. • • Acts based on the interference of light waves.
- 3. Types of Diffraction Gratings • 1. Transmission Grating: • - Light passes through the slits. • 2. Reflection Grating: • - Light reflects off the surface with grooves.
- 4. Basic Principle • • Interference of light waves from multiple slits creates patterns. • • Patterns depend on wavelength and slit spacing. • • Demonstrates the wave nature of light.
- 5. Applications of Diffraction Gratings • • Used in spectroscopy to analyze light. • • Helps in measuring wavelengths of light. • • Found in optical devices like monochromators and spectrometers.
