Prisms split white light into a spectrum.

Recorded sources
6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Prisms split white light into a spectrum?

Yes. Multiple independent reference sources state that a prism disperses white light into its constituent colors, forming a spectrum. A Wikipedia optics article, a LibreTexts chemistry text, a dispersive-prism article, and a chemistry textbook all directly confirm the claim.
