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.

Dispersion of white light into its consituents colours occus during?

Dispersion of white light into its constituent colors occurs when light passes through a prism or a glass prism. The different colors in white light have different wavelengths, causing them to bend at different angles as they pass through the prism, separating them into a spectrum of colors.


What are the types of dispersion compensation?

The types of dispersion compensation are chromatic dispersion compensation, polarization mode dispersion compensation, and non-linear dispersion compensation. Chromatic dispersion compensation corrects for dispersion caused by different wavelengths of light traveling at different speeds. Polarization mode dispersion compensation addresses differences in travel time for different polarization states of light. Non-linear dispersion compensation manages dispersion that varies with the intensity of the light signal.


Refraction can separate white light into what?

Refraction can separate white light into the spectrum of visible light from red to violet.


What is the name for when light is split up into the different colours of the spectrum?

The name for when light is split up into the different colors of the spectrum is called "dispersion."


What occurrence demonstrates dispersion?

The splitting of white light into its component colors when passing through a prism is a clear example of dispersion. This phenomenon occurs because different colors of light bend at slightly different angles when passing through a medium, causing them to separate.

What name is given to the splitting up of white light?

The splitting up of white light into its constituent colors is called dispersion. This occurs when light passes through a medium where its speed changes, causing different colors to refract by different amounts.


When passed through a second prism the light is combined to form white light once again?

This describes the process of dispersion where white light is separated into its component colors by a prism, and then combining these colors through another prism reverts it back to white light. This is due to the dispersion of light wavelengths by the prisms, which are then recombined to form white light.
