What is a spectroscope?
a spectroscope is a device that breaks up light into a spectrum of colors.
What is a device that splits light into a spectrum for analysis?
A prism is a device that splits light into a band of colors known as spectrum by taking advantage of the property of different colors to travel with different velocities in the same medium. answered by priyanka tripathi 'diksha' frm: V.P.S.
Starlight passing through a device for separating light produces a display of colors and lines called a?
Spectrum
What is a sort of device is commonly used to separate the colors of light from white light?
One device that splits white light into the colors of the visible spectrum is called a prism. It is a triangular piece of glass through which a narrow band of white light can pass. The blue color light is bent most, and the red color light bent the least. So the colors in-between red and blue are seen on a screen as a spectrum. A rainbow is produced when drops of water in the sky have light passing into them, and the light is bent in a similar way, producing the spectrum. So there are many devices that can produce a spectrum of the colors.
What is the difference between a laser pointer and an infrared laser pointer?
An infrared pointer uses light that is mainly in the infrared spectrum, and so is mostly invisible to humans. A laser pointer in general refers to any device using a beam of light to mark an object. Both use the same basic technology. The only difference is the wave length. IR lasers are outside of the visual spectrum where as standard laser pointers are within the visual spectrum.

What is a Mnemonic Device and how could you utilize it in science?
A Mnemonic Device is an aid to memory and recall. It can be a word, a phrase, an anagram, a picture, a string around your finger. A famous one is "ROYGBIV" to remember the colors in the visible spectrum, and their order from long wavelength to short. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.

What does 'ROYGBIV' stand for?
ROYGBIV stands for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. It is a mnemonic device for the colors of the traditional optical spectrum. Also the colors of a standard rainbow. Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain - the wording to remember the colours of the poem red orange yellow green blue indigo violet
What device is useful for viewing a spectrum of light?
A prism can be used for splitting light into its constituent colors, but scientists tend to use a more precise instrument called a spectrograph.
A sentence or group of letters used to assist you in remembering information is called a?
A sentence or group of letters which helps you remember information because of the initial letters is called a mnemonic device. (It's named for a Greek muse.) An example would be Roy G Biv (colors of the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo violet.)

Both use the same basic technology. The only difference is the wave length. IR lasers are outside of the visual spectrum where as standard laser pointers are within the visual spectrum.
What device splits light into a spectrum for analysis?
A Triangular Prism
What telescope separates visible light into a spectrum?
Separating light into its spectrum of colors is a characteristic of a cheap,poor quality telescope. One reason for the high cost of perfect optics in aresearch-grade telescope is the cost of lens material that has the sameidentical effect on light of all colors, and does notproduce a spectrum.That's one of the great advantages of the reflecting telescope . . . the lightonly reflects off of the surface of the mirror, and doesn't pass through it,so any effect the mirror may have on light passing through it is completelyunimportant.The telescope must not produce a spectrum. When the astronomer wantsa spectrum, he uses an external device to produce it.
What is the importance of the rainbow?
The rainbow offers a representation of the visible spectrum of light for human eyes, this is a wavelength of 400nm. The mnemonic device "Roy G. Biv" is easily remembered to dictate the order of the colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Any other visible colors are a derivation of these.
