1. Diffraction is created from a powerful beam of light through stimulated emission of radiation the bending of light around an object in it's path emitted by every single thing, with its amounts based on the object's temperature
2. A good example of diffraction is a shadow a mirror a rainbow
3. Far away objects appear blurry because our eyes are not strong enough waves can not travel large distances light is bent to get around the objects
4. Diffraction gratings are used to figure out the wavelength of the light passing through the grates the frequency of the light passing through the grates how much light is passing through the grates
5. The spacing of the lines in a diffraction grating can be calculated by determining the lines per mm and dividing 1 by that number determining the lines per cm and dividing 1 by that number determining the lines per in and dividing 2 by that number
6. The more lines in a grating, the dimmer the image it gives fuzzier the image it gives sharper the image it gives
7. Wavelength in a grating can be found using the equation Wavelength=d*sin theta Wavelength=a*sin theta Wavelength=c*sin theta
8. White light turns into the spectrum wavelengths pigment
