उत्तर
- The phenomenon of splitting of light into its component colours is called dispersion of light.
- In the spectrum of light splitting of white light into different colours takes place. Various colours obtained in spectrum of light are in the sequence - Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and red.
