Diffraction grating and sewage treatment plant: what they have in common

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