Can you please describe "diffraction grating" in simple terms. I have tried looking online but the definitions are too confusing. Thanks for the help :}

A plane transmission grating ( diffraction grating ) is equivalent to a number of slits of equal width placed equidistant from one another. Actual gratings used for the formation of spectra are made by ruling fine grooves with a fine diamond point on a glass plate for transmission gratings.
