THE June issue of the Journal of the Franklin Institute contains two interesting letters from the second volume of the Transactions of the American Philosophical Society (1786), from which it would ...
Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...
The dual nature of light has long been a concern of scientists. It even led to the creation of the to the controversy between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr on whether light can be observed ...
For thousands of years, thinkers argued about whether light is made of particles or waves. At the beginning of the 20th ...
Understanding diffraction and dispersion is key to optical science, influencing technologies like spectroscopy, fiber optics, and advanced imaging systems.
SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 53, No. 3 (2015), pp. 1585-1607 (23 pages) The diffraction grating problem is modeled by a boundary value problem governed by ...
This page contains hints, solutions, and advanced challenges for our diffraction grating challenge. If you would like a grating (or a set for your class if you are a teacher), please contact us at ...
