Question

1. What is dispersion?

2. What is a spectrum

​

Answer 1

Answer: 1.Dispersion is the state of getting dispersed or spread. Statistical dispersion means the extent to which a numerical data is likely to vary about an average value. In other words, dispersion helps to understand the distribution of the data

2.A spectrum (plural spectra or spectrums) is a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary, without steps, across a continuum. The word was first used scientifically in optics to describe the rainbow of colors in visible light after passing through a prism. As scientific understanding of light advanced, it came to apply to the entire electromagnetic spectrum. It thereby became a mapping of a range of magnitudes (wavelengths) to a range of qualities

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

dispersion - the separation of white light into colours or of any radiation according to wavelength.

spectrum - a band of colours, as seen in a rainbow, produced by separation of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to wavelength
