  2. Echelle grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echelle_grating

    An echelle grating (from French échelle, meaning "ladder") is a type of diffraction grating characterised by a relatively low groove density, but a groove shape which is optimized for use at high incidence angles and therefore in high diffraction orders. Higher diffraction orders allow for increased dispersion (spacing) of spectral features at ...

  3. Diffraction grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_grating

    A blazed diffraction grating reflecting only the green portion of the spectrum from a room's fluorescent lighting. For a diffraction grating, the relationship between the grating spacing (i.e., the distance between adjacent grating grooves or slits), the angle of the wave (light) incidence to the grating, and the diffracted wave from the grating is known as the grating equation.

  4. Blazed grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazed_grating

    A special form of a blazed grating is the echelle grating. It is characterized by particularly large blaze angle (>45°). Therefore, the light hits the short legs of the triangular grating lines instead of the long legs. Echelle gratings are mostly manufactured with larger line spacing but are optimized for higher diffraction orders.

  5. Heating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_system

    The main source of harmful greenhouse gas emissions is the type of heating systems being used. For example; central heating systems depending on what they use to burn/electricity consumed to heat the system. Another environmental impact is during winter months heating systems depend heavily more on fossil fuel based energy production. [11]

  6. Diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction

    The form of the light diffracted by a grating depends on the structure of the elements and the number of elements present, but all gratings have intensity maxima at angles θ m which are given by the grating equation (⁡ ⁡) =, where is the angle at which the light is incident, is the separation of grating elements, and is an integer which ...

  7. Davisson–Germer experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davisson–Germer_experiment

    The experiment consisted of firing an electron beam (from an electron gun, an electrostatic particle accelerator) at a nickel crystal, perpendicular to the surface of the crystal, and measuring how the number of reflected electrons varied as the angle between the detector and the nickel surface varied. The electron gun was a heated tungsten ...

  8. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

    Underfloor heating systems—electric or hydronic; Wall heating systems; Radiant ceiling panels; Underfloor and wall heating systems often are called low-temperature systems. Since their heating surface is much larger than other systems, a much lower temperature is required to achieve the same level of heat transfer. This provides an improved ...

  9. Grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grating

    The grating profile is the function of the reflectance or transmittance perpendicular to the lines. This function is generally a square wave, in that every transition between lines is abrupt. A grating can be defined by six parameters: Spatial frequency is the number of cycles occupying a particular distance (e.g. 10 line pairs per millimeter ...
