Best Answer

A prism can be used for splitting light into its constituent colors, but scientists tend to use a more precise instrument called a spectrograph.

What is a sort of device is commonly used to separate the colors of light from white light?

One device that splits white light into the colors of the visible spectrum is called a prism. It is a triangular piece of glass through which a narrow band of white light can pass. The blue color light is bent most, and the red color light bent the least. So the colors in-between red and blue are seen on a screen as a spectrum. A rainbow is produced when drops of water in the sky have light passing into them, and the light is bent in a similar way, producing the spectrum. So there are many devices that can produce a spectrum of the colors.


What is the difference between full spectrum and ott light?

An OttLite actually uses full spectrum lighting, so there is no difference. Full spectrum means the light simulates natural sunlight, and that covers the electromagnetic spectrum from infrared through near-ultraviolet, or all wavelengths that are useful to plant or animal life.
