N2 - A first-principles tutorial account is given for the diffraction of either light or free, non-relativistic, massive particles from a moving grating. Discussion on the properties of the moving grating including non-reciprocity is followed by considering both Raman-Nath (thin grating) diffraction and Bragg (thick grating) diffraction in either transmission or reflection geometry. Use of four-momentum conservation with dispersion relations yield the angles of diffraction. The increase in the angle of diffraction for grazing incident by using a moving grating relative to using a static grating is calculated. It is shown that this increase is possible only for Raman-Nath geometry.
