Dispersive power of grating is a formula that is used to determine the angle of diffraction of light. One example of this phenomenon would be the light that is bent in a prism.

How is a rainbow similar to a prism?

Rainbow is not similar to prism.A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky.A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light with at least two of the flat surfaces having an angle between them.A dispersive prism can be used to break light up into its constituent spectral colors (the colors of the rainbow).So the water droplets can be considered as being similar to a dispersive prism.

What is the difference between dispersive and resolving power of diffraction grating?

The ability of an optical instrument expressed in numerical measure to resolve the image of two nearby points is termed as resolving power. The dispersive power of a diffraction grating is defined as the rate of change of the angle of diffraction with the wavelength of lite. S M SOHEL RANA IU
