The use of hole gratings, a regular arrangement of round holes in a thin opaque sheet, in an advanced laboratory is discussed. The effects of the hole size, spacing, and arrangement and of the grating aperture are demonstrated. Experiments are suggested which illustrate interference and diffraction effects and spatial filtering.
