Where can you see a spectrum?

The question probably refers to a light spectrum, and the most familiar apparition of that is a rainbow. If Nature isn't cooperating at the moment, one can make a mini-rainbow by holding a garden hose on the "spray" setting and standing with one's back to the Sun.

Technically, the range of visible light is less than one octave on the whole spectrum of Electromagnetic radiation, which covers more than sixty octaves, so there's a lot of spectra we can't see at all.

Fun Fact: No two people ever see the same rainbow, because it's not a "thing" but an effect. Each droplet of water acts as a tiny prism and contributes a different bit of light to each eye.

I could be wrong, but I'm suspecting that you're looking at your computer screen right now.

Does it have a lot of words and letters and shapes and colors on it ? Can you see them ?

How are the shapes and colors getting from the screen into your eyes and into your brain ?

One can find information about the emission spectrum from a variety of online resources. Some of these include the easily accessible Wikipedia, Chemguide, and even Wise Geek.
