With a prism. Light striking the prism is of different wavelenghts. These corrospond to the thickness of the wedge splitting the colors out of the source. They can be put back together with another prism.

How would you separated white light into it's component colours?

White light can be separated into its component colors using a prism. When white light enters a prism, it is refracted at different angles based on its wavelength, with shorter wavelengths (such as violet) being refracted more than longer wavelengths (such as red). This results in the white light being separated into its rainbow spectrum of colors.


Why does spectrum of light happen?

White light is a mix of different frequencies; with certain equipment, it is possible to separate it into its components. This separated version is called a "spectrum".White light is a mix of different frequencies; with certain equipment, it is possible to separate it into its components.
