Answer:
Dispersion is caused by refraction not reflection. ... Dispersion is caused by uneven bending (refraction) of various colors of light while changing medium. For example: when light passes from air to glass prism, the geometrical structure of the glass prism causes refraction of various colors of light to different extents.

Answer:
The reason is that for a given angle of incidence, the angle of reflection is the same for all the wavelengths of white light while the angle of refraction is different for different wavelengths.
