Scientists break up the sun’s light into a spectrum using a device called a
A
corona.
B
spectrograph.
C
positron.
D
chromograph.
Explanation: 

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: -Spectroscopy can be very useful in helping scientists understand how an object like a black hole, neutron star, or active galaxy produces light, how fast it is moving, and what elements it is composed of. Spectra can be produced for any energy of light, from low-energy radio waves to very high-energy gamma rays.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Sunlight is a white light made up of all the seven colors of the rainbow. When rays of sunlight are passed through a spectrograph it is split into 7 components in the visible region of 400 nm to 700 nm. The spectra produced are a continuous band of all seven colors.

Detailed explanation-4: -noun Optics. an optical device for producing and observing a spectrum of light or radiation from any source, consisting essentially of a slit through which the radiation passes, a collimating lens, and an Amici prism.
