About this document
Understanding Light Dispersion and Spectrum by isimbi mugisha is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Dispersion of light occurs when white light passes through a prism and splits into the visible color spectrum of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Dispersion is caused by the refraction of different wavelengths of light at different angles as they pass through the prism at different speeds. A rainbow is a natural example of light dispersion, forming when sunlight is refracted and reflected by water droplets in the atmosphere.
