It is not meaningful to talk about "amplitude of the visible light spectrum". One might think that more intense light would mean greater amplitude of the light wave, but it just means more photons.

"Visible light" is made up of photons. A single photon has a certain quantifiable energy, and that energy is discussed in terms of frequency or wavelength. A photon with low frequency (towards the red end of the visible light spectrum, for instance) is less energetic than a photon with high frequency (towards the blue end and beyond).

For all intents and purposes, the amplitude of a photon wave-packet could be said to be of "unit amplitude", the amplitude of light.

Does a prism separate light into only the visible spectrum or the entire spectrum?

Well, seeing as it seperates visible light, it follows that it only seperates that visible light into the visible spectrum. You can't make radiowaves or UV rays out of visible light.
