Solution
The three conditions necessary to obtain a pure spectrum on a screen are:
(i) A narrow parallel beam of light should be made incident on the prism.
(ii) The prism should be placed in the position of minimum deviation.
(iii) The emergent parallel beam should be focussed on the screen.
These conditions are fulfilled in the spectrometer.

The diagram below shows the path taken by a narrow beam of yellow monochromatic light passing through an equiangular glass prism. If the yellow light is replaced by a narrow beam of white light incident at the same angle, draw another diagram to show the passage of white light through the prism and label it to show the effect of prism on the white light.
