Principle
When a laser beam falls on a grating, interference causes intensity minima and maxima to be formed behind the grating, and the wavelength of the laser beam can be determined from these positions.
Benefits
- Curriculum-relevant DEMO Experiment in optics
- Equivalence to the corresponding student experiment
- Stable optical bench
- Compact, simple construction
