A triangular glass solid that breaks down sunlight or white light into different colors is called a?
A prism
Why does the spectrum appear when White light is shone into a prism?
because the prism splits the white light into all colors of visible light
What causes a prism to show colored light when you look into white light?
This is because when the white light it's the prism, the colours separate and change speeds.

What makes diamonds give off different colours?
When white light passes through a prism it breaks into its coloured components(Red,Orange,Yellow,Green,Blue,Indigo and Violet).This process of breaking is known as dispersion. As the diamond is the crystal,when white light passes through,it acts like a prism. Therefore,white light breaks into its components,and we different types of colour

What tools can be used to break up white light?
Breaking of white lights means dispersion of light in which the white light or the visible light splits into 7 colors. Many tools may be used to break up the white light but among them one of them is Prism. It can break up the white lights into 7 colors. Keep a white paper in front of the prism and the prism in the sun due to which the sunlight coming from the sun passes through the prism and the white breaks up into 7 colors due to change in velocity of the different invisible lights inside the white or the visible light. Other tools like plastic scale or ruler also can be used to break up the white light. Thank you
When sunlight is passed through a glass prism it breaks up into different colors when these colors are passed through a reverse prism they form white light this shows that?
sunlight contains all colors.

What thing breaks light into its various wavelengths?
A prism or a diffraction grating would do it.
