Dispersion of Light refers to the phenomenon where white light is split into its constituent colors when passed through a prism. The different colors of light (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet) each have different wavelengths, which causes them to bend by different amounts, creating the rainbow effect.
