waves is the only topic in physics that just doesn't click in my head. i need to understand this to get a scholarship! :(

ok. A diffraction grating is a piece of glass, metal (or plastic)with many, equidistant, closely spaced lines ruled on them by a diamond point. >The lines scatter light while spaces between them transmit light and act as slits. >Diffraction occurs at the slits which behave as sources of...

please reply soon.
