About This Product
One grating at a time is mounted so the beam falls normally on it, the diffraction angle is measured for each order, and the grating equation gives the wavelength. Repeating with the other two densities shows the effect of grating pitch on the spread of the visible spectrum. Enquiries from Cabo Verde, Kiribati, Sierra Leone, Belgium, New Zealand and Luxembourg for the Set of 3 diffraction gratings receive an export quotation.
