    We did a practical before learning much theory on diffraction gratings, and I'm pleased to say I understood what we did then, having watched this. The switch from Young's equation to this n x wavelength = slit width x sin theta makes all the more sense, and I understand the reciprocal relationship between 'D' (grating) and 'd' (slit width) now. Other useful pointers received from the video, so thank you very much :)
