Diffraction grating and sewage treatment plant: what they have in common
- Step 1. Diffraction grating — is part of — Spectroscope. A grating instead of a prism.
- Step 2. Spectroscope — is used in — Helium. Helium was discovered by spectroscopy in the solar spectrum.
- Step 3. Helium — is material for — Superconducting magnet. It is cooled with liquid helium.
- Step 4. Superconducting magnet — is part of — Maglev. Japan’s SCMaglev uses superconducting magnets.
- Step 5. Maglev — is made of — Concrete. The guideway is concrete.
- Step 6. Concrete — is material for — Sewage treatment plant. The tanks are concrete.
