| The sole job of a spectroscope is to break light into a rainbow of its component colors. |
| In 1859, Kirchoff and Bunsen invented the spectroscope and demonstrated that different atoms absorb and emit different wavelengths of light. |
| A spectroscope splits light up into its component hues so that its precise mixture of colours can be analysed separately. |
| Film colours are colours such as are seen in a spectroscope or a patch of blue or uniformly grey sky. |
| In 1868, the French astronomer Pierre Janssen studied light from the Sun during a solar eclipse using a spectroscope. |
| When light passes through a spectroscope it breaks into bands of unique colors that represent pure elements. |
