Answer:
The dispersion of white light occurs because colors of white light travel at different speeds through the glass prism. When white light consisting of seven colors falls on a glass prism, each color in it is refracted by a different angle, with the result that seven colors are spread out to form a spectrum.

Answer:
1)Dispersion of white light is defined as splitting of white light into seven constituent colours when passed through the prism.
2)what is the cause of dispersion of white light as it passes through a prism. Dispersion occurs due to the different degrees of refraction experienced by different colours of light. Light of different colours may travel with the same speed in a vacuum, but they travel at different speeds in some refracting medium.
