Explanation:
Dispersion of light occurs when white light is separated into its different constituent colors because of refraction and Snell's law. White light only appears white because it is composed of every color on the visible spectrum. Although they are very close, the index of refraction for each color is unique in non-vacuous materials. These unique indices cause each wavelength to follow a different path.

Explanation:
White light is a mixture of many different colours, each with a different frequency. Light is refracted when it enters the prism and each colour is refracted by a different amount. This means that the light leaving the prism is spread out into its different colours,a process called dispersion.
hope it helps!!
