Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Function of Each Object

To determine which object can separate white light into the colors of the spectrum, we need to understand the function of each listed object:

  • Microscope: Used to magnify small objects, not for separating light.
  • Prism: A transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. It is known for its ability to disperse white light into its constituent colors (spectrum).
  • Color Chart: A tool used to identify or compare colors, not for separating light.
  • Color Wheel: A circular diagram of colors arranged according to their chromatic relationship, not for separating light.
  • Electromagnet: A type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current, not for separating light.
Step 2: Identifying the Correct Object

From the above analysis, the prism is the only object that is specifically designed to separate white light into the colors of the spectrum through the process of refraction and dispersion.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{prism}}\)
