Diffraction gratings can be categorized into 2 types - reflection gratings and transmission gratings. So, transmission gratings are a subset of diffraction gratings. Kristian Buchwald, Ibsen Photonics
No diffraction grating is not used in polarization.
A diffraction grating does not disperse light into its component colors. However, a prism does. A diffraction grating simply causes light to diffract and display an interference pattern on a screen.
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.

A diffractiongrating is an optical device consisting of many closely spaced parallellines or grooves. In a transmission type of grating, lightpasses through the narrow transparent slits that lie between the dark lines on a glassor plastic plate.

for diffraction grating mercury lamp is used not sodium lamp.

spectroscope and its roles
Diffraction grating could be used as the dispersive element because of the ability of light to be broken according to various wavelength.
If you shone monochromatic light on a diffraction grating it would alternate bright and dark bands. Only white light white light shone through a diffraction grating would produce a band of colors.
