The efficiency of a grating may also depend on the polarization of the incident light.", "Diffraction Grating. When there is a need to separate light of different wavelengths with high resolution, then a diffraction grating is most often the tool of choice. This super prism aspect of the diffraction grating leads to application for measuring atomic spectra in both laboratory instruments and telescopes.
