A pivotal analytical method that began to unify theories of light with theories of matter was the use of diffraction gratings to analyze the light emitted by elements when heated in a flame. You may have replicated this method in your high school chemistry class. When viewed through a diffraction grating (remember those rainbow glasses?), light emitted from heated elements displays a discrete spectral pattern. This technique was refined by Anders Jonas Ångström, a Swedish physicist, working in the mid-19th century. The stones of Kinstone silhouetted against a bright sky remind one of these spectra.
