the light rays that are 'bent'[refracted] as they pass through a prism, and then focused upon the receiving 'tray' that contains the film that is processed to form Spectrographs.
Spectrographs are of two types: emission - spectral lines that result from the emission of photons at absolutely specific spectral lines [wavelengths], and - absorption spectral lines that are missing due to the absorbent nature of the interstellar gas & matter clouds that the Source Light passes through.
