What is a dispersion of light
Advertisements
उत्तर
Dispersion of light is the phenomenon of splitting of light into its component colours.
When a narrow beam of sunlight is incident on a glass prism, the emergent light splits into seven colours, namely, violet (V), indigo (I), blue (B), green (G), yellow (Y), orange (O) and red (R).
