Prism spectrum is formed due to DISPERSION but grating spectrum is formed due to DIFFRACTION.
In prism spectrum we have only one order but in grating spectrum we can have second order too
IN prism spectrum we have continuous spectrum but in gratings we have only line spectrum
In prism spectrum red end will be closer to the direct ray but in grating spectrum violet end will be closer to the direct ray

What simple device uses diffraction to produce a better spectrum than a prism can be produced?
A diffraction grating does.
What simple device uses diffraction to produce a better spectrum than a prism can produce?
A diffraction grating does.
What objects can break light into colours?
diffraction grating prism
What thing breaks light into its various wavelengths?
A prism or a diffraction grating would do it.
Why does a diffraction grating will separate while light into colors?
A diffraction grating does not disperse light into its component colors. However, a prism does. A diffraction grating simply causes light to diffract and display an interference pattern on a screen.
What is Difference between prismatic spectrum and grating spectrum?
Grating spectrum is a spectrum produced as a result of diffraction, as by a grating.Whereas prismatic spectrum is a consequence of dispersion of light by a prism. In grating spectrum you also observe different orders of spectral lines which does not happen in prismatic spectrum. Hope this helps VIBHAV ZUTSHI B.Tech '13 IIT Kharagpur
What splits light into a spectrum for analysis?
A prism, a diffraction grating, a water droplet, etc.
How can you observe the spectrum in the lab?
You can split white light using a prism or a diffraction grating.

Difference between prism spectrum and grating spectrum?
A prism bends light according to change in refractive index, which can be relatively small (typically a few percent from red to blue) and which varies in different ways for different materials. The prism material may also absorb some wavelengths. A grating bends light according to strict geometry, fairly independent of the material, and the bending is larger. From blue (say, 480nm) to red (around 640) you can get a 15 degree separation with a typical grating. The larger dispersion and the perfectly geometrical calculation of the turn (based on grating spacing and wavelength and initial angle) independent of material make gratings a superior solution for measurement devices.
What is spectometer in physics?
It is an optical device to study about the spectrum produced by the refraction phenomenon through a triangular prism or obtained by the diffraction phenomenon at the grating.
What is the difference between ordinary prism and constant deviation prism?
difference between ordinary prism and constant deviation prism
What objects can break light into colours?
diffraction grating prism
What are some difference between cone and a prism?
the difference between a cone and a prism is that a cone has no edges and only one vertex and a prism has both edges and vertexes.
How do you compare the prism and grating spectrum?
Grating spectra is made of a series of step like material where the beam of light hits either the short face (echelle) or the long face (echellette) which disperses the beam into separate wavelengths. Prisms can be made in different ways but they theory is based on refractive index. The beam passes through the prism and the wavelengths disperse, where dispersion increases with shorter wavelength.
Difference between prism and right prism?
The length of the prism is at right angles to the bases.
