Answer 2

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.
