White is not a colour. It is sensed only by human eye. Actually white is a composite of many colours. Such a composite white light could be spilit up by using a triangular prism. This splitting of composite white light into its constituent colours is called dispersion.

∙ 7y agoAbsortption is when the light is taken in by a substance and transformed into another type of energy. Scattering is when light is reflected at random angles from a surface. Dispersion is when white light separates into its constituent wavelengths because it is being refracted by different amounts, e.g. when it passes through a prism.

∙ 12y agothe splitting of light into its different components (ROYGBIV) is called dispersion of light.
eg: a prism is used to disperse light into its different components.

∙ 12y agoLight slows down when it travels through a medium like air or glass, but different wavelengths slow down in different amounts. This is called dispersion.

What is the name for when light is split up into the different colours of the spectrum?
That's " dispersion ".
What the condition for dispersion without deviation?
The width of the aperture through which light is passing should be comparable to the wavelength of that light.
Does a beam of light disperse through a hollow prism?
Not much because the light has to travel a distance in the medium with a different refractive index in order for the dispersion to become obvious. If you look very closely you will see some dispersion but it may be microscopic.
What are the types of dispersion compensation?
the three types of dispersion are: 1. Intermodal Dispersion 2. Chromatic Dispersion 3. Waveguide Dispersion
