The instrument you're referring to is a spectrophotometer. It measures the intensity of light at different wavelengths in the spectrum, allowing for the analysis of a material's unique absorbance or emission profile.
A prism is commonly used to break up white light into its spectrum. White light is composed of different wavelengths, each corresponding to a different color. When white light passes through a prism, it is refracted, causing the different wavelengths to separate and create a spectrum of colors.
There are no breaks between the colors of the spectrum; they blend seamlessly into one another. The visible spectrum of light consists of a continuous range of colors from red to violet.
No, a device that breaks light into colors and produces an image of the spectrum is called a spectroscope. The electromagnetic spectrum refers to the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
The device is called a prism. It refracts white light into its component colors by bending each color at a slightly different angle as it passes through the prism, resulting in a spectrum of colors being produced.
Sunlight's spectrum is called a continuous spectrum because it contains all the colors of the rainbow without any gaps or breaks in the distribution. This means that sunlight consists of a continuous range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
A Spectograph breaks light into colors and produces and image of the resulting spectrum.

An audio spectrum analyzer is used to analyze sound waves. Basically, those lines you see when you listen to songs on windows media player constitute an audio spectrum analyzer. It breaks down sound waves and displays the spectrum visually.
You are thinking of a Prism.
A prism breaks light into a spectrum due to refraction, which occurs when light enters the prism and bends due to a change in speed. Different colors of light bend by different amounts due to their different wavelengths, resulting in the separation of colors into a spectrum.
Sunlight's spectrum is called a continuous spectrum because it contains all the colors of the rainbow without any gaps or breaks in the distribution. This means that sunlight consists of a continuous range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
In light you obtain a spectrum by passing the beam of white light through an object (a prism) which breaks the 'beam' up into it's constituent colours.
