Solution

The object that can be used to separate white light into the colors of the spectrum is a prism.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. White light, such as sunlight, contains all the colors of the spectrum mixed together.

  2. When white light enters a prism (which is a triangular piece of glass or other transparent material), the different colors in the light refract, or bend, at slightly different angles.
