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 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."
When a light passes through a prism it spreads into a spectrum of colours what is spreading effect called?
The spreading effect when light passes through a prism and separates into different colors is called dispersion. This occurs because different wavelengths of light are refracted by different amounts as they pass through the prism, causing them to spread out into a spectrum.
What is dispersion of white light?
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.
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.
Example of dispersion of light in nature?
One example of dispersion of light in nature is a rainbow, where sunlight is separated into its component colors as it passes through water droplets in the air, creating a beautiful spectrum of colors. This dispersion is caused by the different wavelengths of light being refracted by different amounts as they pass through the water droplets.
How is white light is made of colors?
By Dispersion Of light (We call the phenomenon of spiliting of white light into 7 colours as dispersion of light.).......... You Can use Prism.....
What is the name for when light is split up into the different colours of the spectrum?

What word describes the splitting of light into the colours of the spectrum?
Dispersion of white light... ! :D
How is white light made-up of different colors?

What did newton prove with this prism?
dispersion of white light into its constituent colours

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).
What is the splitting of light in to a range of colours called?
The splitting of light into a range of colors is called dispersion. This occurs when light interacts with a prism or a diffraction grating, causing the different wavelengths of light to separate and form a spectrum of colors.
Which phenomenon is exhibited by the inclined refracting surface of a glass prism?
Dispersion phenomenon is exhibited by the triangular prism. Dispersion is splitting of composite white light into its constituent colours.
Does the prism change the color of the light?
A prism will split white light into its constituent colours (the colours of the rainbow). "White light" is the light we see around us i.e. natural light from the sun. This light is made up of all the colours in the visible spectrum
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).
Name for what happens when light is split up into the different colours if the spectrum?
This phenomenon is called dispersion, where light is separated into its component colors due to differences in their wavelengths.
