HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
REFRACTIVE INDEX:-the ratio of the speed of radiation (such as light) in one medium (such as air, glass, or a vacuum) to that in another medium.
DISPERSION OF LIGHT:-Visible light is actually made up of different colors. Each color bends by a different amount when refracted by glass. That's why visible light is split, or dispersed, into different colors when it passes through a lens or prism.
