Si nous interposons entre les deux lentilles [du dispositif optique du spectrographe] un élément disperseur qui est un réseau à transmission, nous obtenons sur cet écran, une sorte d'arc en ciel. La lumière est dispersée entre ses différents éléments, ses différentes couleurs, du rouge au violet. C'est la superposition de ces couleurs qui donne la couleur blanche. 2, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9seau%20%C3%A0%20transmission
