Detailed explanation-1: -A spectrograph-sometimes called a spectroscope or spectrometer-breaks the light from a single material into its component colors the way a prism splits white light into a rainbow. It records this spectrum, which allows scientists to analyze the light and discover properties of the material interacting with it.
Detailed explanation-2: -A spectrograph passes light coming into the telescope through a tiny hole or slit in a metal plate to isolate light from a single area or object. This light is bounced off a special grating, which splits the light into its different wavelengths (just like a prism makes rainbows).
Detailed explanation-3: -A spectrograph is an instrument that separates incoming light by its wavelength or frequency and records the resulting spectrum in some kind of multichannel detector, like a photographic plate.
