Is there a tutorial available for creating a spectrum by passing light through a prism?

Thanks

I'm not sure if there's a tutorial, but it is not difficult -- literally, create a prism, and apply a glass material, along the lines of (this is a pretty typical glass material):

• a single BSDF
• Dispersion enabled (in the top-level material properties)
• BSDF > Reflectance 0: [64,64,64]
• BSDF > Reflectance 90: [255,255,255]
• BSDF > Transmittance: [255,255,255]
• BSDF > Attenuation: ~3.0 cm
• BSDF > Nd: ~1.51
• BSDF > Abbe: ~10.0
• BSDF > Roughness: 0.0

Here is a quick Cinema file demonstrating this:

And, here is the page in the documentation that deals most directly with the topic.
