`\star\:\:{\sf{\underline{\orange{What \:is\: the\: dispersion\: of \:light\:?\:}}}} \\`

• Passing of white light through a glass prism which splits into spectrum of colours.
• Those colours are to be said as VIBGYOR (violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red).
• This process is called as dispersion of light

`\star\:\:{\sf{\underline{\blue{Examples \ of \ dispersion \ of \ light\:}}}} \\`

• Dewdrops in morning (mostly in winter season)
• Rainbow Formation
• CD (compact disc)
• Diamond
• Oil fuel on road

• "Dispersion of light" phenomenon is given by Issac Newton.
• Issac Newton conducted an experiment where he took a glass prism and passed white light rays through it.
• Violet colour has the highest dispersion of light.

Red is the least deviated colour of light.
