Dispersion refers to the phenomenon where a wave or a group of waves spread out as they propagate through a medium. In optics, it often describes how different wavelengths of light separate when passing through a prism, resulting in a spectrum of colors. In a broader context, dispersion can also refer to the distribution of particles within a medium, such as in a colloid or solution.
