Does a convex lens split the white light into a spectrum of colored light?

Only the cheaper convergent lenses do that. It's considered a flaw in a lens of it
separates colors, and many techniques are used to create the glass, build lenses
out of layers of different types of glass, and coat the lenses, all in an effort to
minimize the separation of colors on their way through the lens. That's one of the
reasons that serious astronomical telescopes are no longer built with giant lenses.

What is meant by spectrum wave?
Spectrum = the band of colours produced when light is split into its component frequencies
What is the name for when light is split up into the different colours of the spectrum?
That's " dispersion ".
What is the difference between the spectrum of the light bulb and the spectra of gas tubes?
The light bulbs blend together when the gasses are more split appart like lines
Why do artificial plant-growth lights have a light spectrum that favors the blue and red portions of the spectrum?
Chlorophyll, the main photosynthetic pigment of plants, absorbs mainly blue and red wavelengths from the Sun and reflects green ones, and it is this reflected light that gives plants their leafy color. Light can be split into red, green, and blue. Plants are green because they reflect the green portion of the spectrum, but consume the blue and red portions. Perhaps photosynthesis uses blue and red portions of spectrum, making a light spectrum that favors red and blue portions of the spectrum the best for plant growth.
Are there 5 colours in the visible spectrum of white light?
The 7 accepted colours of the rainbow are: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. A rainbow forms when sunlight, shinning through raindrops, is split into the main colours making up 'white' light.
What is the name for what happens when light is split up into the different colours of the spectrum?

yes
Why do the colors split up in the spectrum?
White light can be split up into lots of different coloured light waves using a prism. We call this range of colours the visible spectrum.

the answer is a (prism).
Can you split white light by passing through it through a prison?
You can split white light into a spectrum of its component wavelengths by passing it through a prism, not a prison.
