The dependence of wave speed and index of refraction on wavelenght is called?
Dispersion.
What is the difference between refraction and dispersion?
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 are the seven properties of light?
refection refraction diffraction polarization interference dispersion photoelectric effect
What is the normal dispersion of the refractive indices?
In which the index of refraction is higher for short wavelengths and lower for long wavelengths.
Splitting white light is called what?
All the colours of light travel at different wavelengths.The length of the wavelengths depends on the amount of energy that the colour has. For example, red light has the longest wavelength, thus having the lowest energy. When the wavelengths of the colours change, due to a less or more dense atmosphere, the colours split. This is called Dispersion (the splitting of white light).

Dispersion.
What is the principle of dispersive power of prism?
It works under the principle of refraction and the phenomenon of dispersion.

How are refraction and dispersion demonstrate light?
They don't demonstrate light; they assume that you have light in the first place.
What are the seven properties of light?

What is the normal dispersion of the refractive indices?
In which the index of refraction is higher for short wavelengths and lower for long wavelengths.
Where do rainbows appear?
reflection, refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection of the sun's rays make rainbows appear.
What are the similarities an differences of reflection and refraction and dispersion?
there isnt anything the same about it chickens are cool and so are cats mann B)
Light remains unchanged when it goes from matter?
Many phenomenons can occur: refraction, reflexion, absorption, dispersion, scattering, transmission.

What are the two ways that light is manipulated?
Reflection and refraction. (Another is absorption.) (Another of the two is dispersion and interference.) (And another one is diffraction.)
What are the applications of dispersion without deviation?
no
