Diffraction Grating Definition
The term diffraction grating refers to the process of inscribing grids consisting of dots or parallel lines on materials such as glass, plastic, or metal. The inscribing is done for producing a spectrum through the diffraction of transmitted light. This principle was propounded by James Gregory, almost a year after Newton’s prism experiment.
