Question

what is Dispersion of light how can white light is dispersed into its constituent colours​

Answer 1

Answer:

When white light is passed through a glass prism it splits into its spectrum of colours (in order violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) and this process of white light splitting into its constituent colours is termed as dispersion.

• The simplest way to explain dispersion is through dispersion in the prism.
• These colors are often observed as light passes through a triangular prism. Upon passage through the prism, the white light is separated into its component colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The separation of visible light into its different colors is known as dispersion.
