A laser pointer shining on a diffraction grating or CD creates a series of diffraction spots depending on the spacing of the lines or pits in the grating or CD and the wavelength emitted by the laser.

A DIFFRACTION pattern was obtained by passing a cathode ray beam through a thin sheet of mica, with an apparatus similar to that used by G. P. Thomson in his interesting experiment on the diffraction ...

X-ray diffraction methods lie at the foundation of materials science. Determination of the crystal structures of natural minerals and, later, of crystals grown in the laboratory led to our ...
