Question

difference between reflection and dispersion of light.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When a ray of light approaches a smooth polished surface and the light ray bounces back, it is called the reflection of light. The incident light ray which lands upon the surface is said to be reflected off the surface. The ray that bounces back is called the reflected ray.

The phenomenon of splitting of white light into its seven component colours is called dispersion of light. Splitting of white light into its component colours is due to the fact that lights of different colours travel with different speeds.
