The document discusses various applications of diffraction using a spectrometer. It mentions that closely spaced tracks on CDs and DVDs act as a diffraction grating to form rainbow patterns when viewing discs. Additionally, it lists holograms, the red appearance of the sun during sunset, shadows of objects, light bending at corners, the use of spectrometers, x-ray diffraction, and separating white light as other applications of diffraction.
