Hi,

For a homework thread you really should post an attempt at solution by yourself !
Least you could do is google raman spectroscopy and try to find out what prof could be thinking of. Perhaps he is my age and designates anything resolving a spectrum as 'prism' -- even if nowadays it all done with gratings.
Other places where spectral dispersion comes in is in the laser tuning or the filter.

Thank you for answering. I guess I should really ask him directly on what he means.
