A
diffraction grating
is a
flat opaque screen
with
multiple
evenly
spaced
parallel
slits
Advantages of Diffraction Gratings
Diffracted
beams are
further apart
, so
less uncertainty
when measuring
Beams are
brighter
and
sharper
More
slits
means
sharper
and
brighter
beams
Decreasing frequency
causes an
increase
in
fringe separation
