Question

Differences between rainbow and dispersion of light

Answer 1

Answer:

The sequence of colors in rainbows is the same sequence as the colors plotted versus wavelength in Figure 2. What this implies is that white light is spread out according to wavelength in a rainbow. Dispersion is defined as the spreading of white light into its full spectrum of wavelengths.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Dispersion of light = The process of splitting of white light ( sunlight) into seven constituent colours is called dispersion of light

Rainbow= After the rain small droplets of water remain in the air which acts like small prism. The dispersed light from a large number of drops forms a continuous band of seven colours. This coloured band is called rainbow.
