refraction is when light bends because of the change in desity, dispersion is white light that splits in a prism inot the colours of the spectrum (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, indigo and violet) so refraction is light changing direction and dispersion is white light splitting inot the colours of the spectrum (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, indigo and violet).

What is the difference between diffraction and dispersion?
Diffraction = The amount of light passing through a photographic lens being adjusted by a diaphragm. Dispersion = The splitting of light of different colors due to the different indices of refraction at different wavelengths when the light enters a lens or prism.
The dependence of wave speed and index of refraction on wavelenght is called?
Dispersion.
What is difference between reflection and refraction of sound wave?
reflection - it bounces off a substance refraction - the course of movement is bent
What are the seven properties of light?
refection refraction diffraction polarization interference dispersion photoelectric effect
What is the difference between reflection and refraction?
Reflection is for the light rays to bounce, and refraction is for the light rays to bend. maybe not equally, but enough to bend or bounce.
What is the difference between Dispersion and Skewness?
distinguish between dispersion and skewness
Difference between solvent and dispersion medium?
dispersion medium is contained
What is the difference between solvent and dispersion medium?
dispersion medium is contained

What is the difference between refraction and reflection?
the difference between refraction and reflection is that in refraction light bends and in reflection it is reflected
What is the difference between the measures of central tendency and the measures of dispersion?
difference
What is the difference between distortion and dispersion?
shape will be changed
The dependence of wave speed and index of refraction on wavelenght is called?
Dispersion.
What is difference between reflection and refraction of sound wave?
reflection - it bounces off a substance refraction - the course of movement is bent
What is the difference between a compression and a refraction?
the difference is a rarefaction needs vibration i believe i'mnot sure
What is the principle of dispersive power of prism?
It works under the principle of refraction and the phenomenon of dispersion.
What is the difference between light and light refraction?
In reflection the light bounces bach; in refraction the light passes through, but is bent at the interface.
