grating
(noun)
Any regularly spaced collection of essentially identical, parallel, elongated elements.
Examples of grating in the following topics:
-
Diffraction Gratings: X-Ray, Grating, Reflection
- The directions of these beams depend on the spacing of the grating and the wavelength of the light so that the grating acts as the dispersive element.
- A photographic slide with a fine pattern of purple lines forms a complex grating.
- For practical applications, gratings generally have ridges or rulings on their surface rather than dark lines.
- Such gratings can be either transmissive or reflective.
- An opal is another example of diffraction grating that reflects the light into different colors.
-
The Spectrometer
- The instrument produces lines, much like those produced from diffraction grating as covered in a previous atom, and then measures the wavelengths and intensities of those lines.
- The source is placed in front of a mirror, which reflects the light emitted from that object onto a diffraction grating.
- This grating then disperses the emitted light to anther mirror which spreads the different resultant wavelengths and reflects them onto a detector which records the findings.
- They use a diffraction grating, movable slit, and a photodetector.
-
Diffraction
- A good example would be diffraction gratings.
- For example, the closely spaced tracks on a CD or DVD act as a diffraction grating to form the familiar rainbow pattern seen when looking at a disk.
- This principle can be extended to engineer a grating with a structure such that it will produce any diffraction pattern desired, like the hologram on a credit card.
-
Interference and Diffraction
- The most striking examples of diffraction are those involving light; for example, the closely spaced tracks on a CD or DVD act as a diffraction grating to form the familiar rainbow pattern seen when looking at a disk.
- This principle can be extended to engineer a grating with a structure such that it will produce any diffraction pattern desired; the hologram on a credit card is an example.
- This is due to the superposition, or interference, of different parts of a wave that traveled to the observer by different paths (see diffraction grating).
-
Diffraction Revisited
- The periodic structure of a crystalline solid acts as a diffraction grating, scattering the electrons in a predictable manner.

Introduction to This "Textbook" (for Instructors and Scholars)
- We are extremely grateful for their support.
- We are also beyond grateful to have the financial and technological support from the team at Trinket, who provided a matching donation in the amount of $2500, and who built the technology behind the interactive musical notation modules that appear in this text.

Prejudice
- Mickey Hart, one of the two drummers of the iconic rock band, the Grateful Dead, is one of many examples that contradicts this image of "older people. " At age 68, Hart continues to perform and tour the country and, as of 2006, became a part of a new band known as the "Rhythm Devils. "

Youth Culture and Delinquency
- Leary as well as psychedelic rock musicians such as the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, and the Beatles—soon attracted a great deal of publicity, generating further interest in LSD.
