This kit demonstrates the X-ray diffraction of DNA by using patterns scaled up to diffract using laser pointers. The slide has 12 patterns to contrast between changing amplitude, period, and offset of ...

Abstract: This work-in-progress describes a project to improve the use of the "Reflected Optical Diffraction from Onedimensional Structures" experimental kit when teaching "light diffraction" in lower ...

Specially made diffraction gratings use optical laser light to illustrate how wave-based material characterization techniques work, such as X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, and neutron ...
