What is a sort of device is commonly used to separate the colors of light from white light?

One device that splits white light into the colors of the visible spectrum is called a prism. It is a triangular piece of glass through which a narrow band of white light can pass. The blue color light is bent most, and the red color light bent the least. So the colors in-between red and blue are seen on a screen as a spectrum. A rainbow is produced when drops of water in the sky have light passing into them, and the light is bent in a similar way, producing the spectrum. So there are many devices that can produce a spectrum of the colors.
