Question

explain the term dispersion of light ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it helps you my dear friend.❤

Explanation:

Dispersion of light is the splitting of white light into its constituent colors due to the refractive index of the surface and the wavelength of the light. If the light entering the prism is not of a single colour then the emergent beam also has different colours arranged in a definite order.

Answer 2

Answer:

The phenomenon of splitting of visible light into its component colours is called dispersion. Dispersion of light is caused by the change of speed of light ray (resulting in angle of deviation) of each wavelength by a different amount.
