Diffraction grating 1.0

A collection of m-files aimed at learning and teaching about the principles of diffraction gratings. Some of these show a cross section of the geometry of a diffraction grating, a common illustration in textbooks of optics, spectroscopy, and analytical chemistry.Sliders on the figures allow real-time interactive control of the incidence angle, grating ruling density (lines/mm), wavelength, and diffraction order. Others demonstrate how grating operation arises from the interference of reflections from multiple grooves. For more details, see http://www.wam.umd.edu/~toh/models/matlab/...tionGrating.htm (Thanks to Matthew Jones for the slider function.)
