Question

differences between refraction and dispersion of light

Please give in point wise..​​​

Answer 1

Answer:

Refraction refers to any bending of waves due to a change in speed. When water waves move through different depths, the wave is said to be refracted. Dispersion refers to the frequency dependence of refraction. In the case of light being refracted by a prism, dispersion means that the higher frequency light bends more.

Answer 2

Answer:

refraction

1) it's the phenomenon of bending of Ray of light when it enters from one medium to another

2)when light go rarer medium to denser medium then it bend towards normal

3)when light go denser medium to rarer medium then it bend away from normal

DISPERSION OF LIGHT

1) The process of splitting of white light into 7 colours (VIBGYOR ) is called dispersion of light

2)violet light bend so high bcz it has lowest wavelength

3)

red light bend so less bcz it has highest wavelength
