Diffraction Grating, Iridescence, Single Slit Diffraction, Missing Orders
This video discusses diffraction gratings, iridescence, and diffraction from a single slit. The formation of narrow maxima by the diffraction grating is explained. Examples of iridescence are shown. Destructive interference and the location of minima for the single slit are explained. Missing orders are discussed. This material relates to Sections 4 and 5 of Chapter 27 of OpenStax College Physics.
