How does spectroscope separate white light into its component colors?

By refraction.
The longer wavelengths(red) refract to a lesser angle than shorter wavelength (blue).
See a picture/immage of a white light beam being refracted through a glass prism.

What is the function of a spectroscope?
The function of a spectroscope is to disperse a ray of light into its constituent colors - a process similar to the one performed by the water droplets in clouds to form a rainbow.
What is the purpose of a spectroscope?
The spectorscope is used to mark wave lengths of light. :)
What measures the exact frequency of the light emitted when an electron changes levels?
spectroscope
A spectroscope relies on?
A spectroscope relies on the phenomenon of diffraction. This scientific instrument separates light into its different wavelengths. It was invented in 1814 by a German optician, Joseph von Fraunhofer.
Compare primary light colors and primary pigment colors?
primary light colors are the mixed of red green and blue and pigment is solid colors
How can a spectroscope be used to identify an element heated to incandescence?
Spectroscope is a device that separates light into its different colors.
What can be used to separate light into all of the colors?
A prism can be used to separate light into its component colors.
What do scientists use to break visible light from a star into its component colors a telescope or a spectroscope?
That's a spectroscope, usually coupled to the business end of a telescope. The telescope is responsible for producing enough light from the star for the spectroscope to work with.
What is a spectroscope?
a spectroscope is a device that breaks up light into a spectrum of colors.
A spectroscope relies on a separating light into its component parts?
Prism
Light can be broken up into its characteristic colors by?
Spectroscope(:
What is the spectrum of sunlight?
spectrum of light is the colors of son or u can say the elements of sun. we find out the elments of sun with the help of spectroscope, a prism in spectroscope help to break down the colors or spectra of sun light. spectrum of light is the colors of son or u can say the elements of sun. we find out the elments of sun with the help of spectroscope, a prism in spectroscope help to break down the colors or spectra of sun light.
A device that uses a prism or diffraction grating to separate light into its color components?
A device for separating light into different colors is know as a ?
How can you show that visible light is made up of many different wavelength?
A prism will separate visible light into its component colors.
What is the integral component of a working spectroscope?
it can be break up white light and make a rainbow
A device that breaks light into colors and produces an image is a?
SPECTROSCOPE!! or a prism
What separates light on a spectroscope?
The defraction grating on the scope acts the same is a prism, splitting the light into its color components by disrupting the timing of the parts so they reach our eyes at separate times and resulting in different colors.
