Only one ruling will be there along with a slit in a grating element. The combined width of a ruling and a slit is called grating element.
Corresponding points are the successive points in adjacent slits which are separated by a distance of grating element. Grating element is the combined width of a ruling and slit in the grating. Denoted by symbol 'e'. e = 1/N N - number of slits or number of rulings or number of grating elements per unit length.

By placing the grating element in the path of laser light , then we can observe some dots on the screen that is present back side of grating element.
Diffraction grating could be used as the dispersive element because of the ability of light to be broken according to various wavelength.
A.AThe distance between two adjacent slits is known as granting element/Its value is obtained by dividing the length of grating by the by total number of lines ruled on the gratingd=L / NL=length of the grating,N=number of lines ruled on the graring'

what is meant by grating
Grating constant is the distance between two rulings present on the grating plate.
Grating is nothing but having many parallel slits or parallel reflectors. If slits are there then light could pass through and so it is named as transmission grating. Otherwise in case of reflection it is termed as reflecting grating. Any way in both the case diffraction phenomenon takes place.
an arragement of very large no. of narrow slits of equal width placed side by side and seprated by equal opaque portion is known diffraction grating.when wavefront is incident on grating surface then light is obstructed by opaque portion and is transmitted by slit,such a grating is called plane transmission grating.in general it is constructed by ruling equidistant parallel line by diamond point on glass surface.
Metal grating will generally be more durable and trouble free. I would not suggest fiberglass for a good grating material.
Plastic grating panels can be purchased from a local hardware store such as The Home Depot or Lowes. These hardware stores will typically cut the grating panels down if required. Alternatively, many online stores sell plastic grating panels, but the shipping cost might be expensive.
