A spectrometer is an instrument that detects incoming information (say, light or matter) and disperses (scatters) it, organizing it according to energy or mass. One kind of spectrometer is a prism — it receives light and spreads that light out into its individual wavelengths (which appear as the colors of the rainbow).
