Question

When white light is passed through a Prism it causes it causes dispersion why does this happen

Answer 1

Dispersion of White Light By a Prism

Refraction is the bending in the path of the light when it travels from one medium to the another. The degree at which refraction will occur depends on the wavelength of the light. Each light wave has a different wavelength and will therefore deviate differently.

Answer:

it happens coz white color contains millions and millions of colors... Dispersion occurs due to the different degrees of refraction experienced by different colours of light.
