White light is a combination of seven fundamental colors namely: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When white light hits a barrier, it is reflected, refracted, or absorbed. In refraction, there is a great possibility that this light will also undergo dispersion. Dispersion is the breaking of white light into all the colors of the visible spectrum.
