Hello

Hope it helps u

A spectroscope is similar to a prism in that it can break up light into its component.
At one end of the spectroscope is a square film of material that acts like a prism. The film is called a diffraction grating. It is made by putting thousands of grooves on a plastic film. This bends the light coming through it and, in essence, causes the light to spread out into its different wavelengths of light (colors). This is the end of the spectroscope you look through.

Look through this end now and aim the wide end at the white block below. Hold the end about 6 inches from the screen.
