Question

What is meant my dispersion of light?​

Answer 1

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 phenomenon of splitting of light into its component colours is called dispersion of light. When white light passes through a glass prism, it spreads out into a band of different colours called the spectrum of light. The colours in the spectrum of white light are violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
