Student Manual | Experiment 3.2 introduced diffraction patterns for single slit arrangements. This exercise will show you diffraction patterns for a one-dimensional transmission diffraction grating. This experiment will help you understand the reciprocal relationship between the shape of the diffraction pattern and that of the grating that creates it. |
