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).

Why can we have refraction without dispersion but cannot have dispersion without refraction?

Refraction occurs when light travels through a medium with different optical density, causing a change in its speed and direction. This phenomenon can occur without dispersion, which specifically refers to the separation of light into different colors based on their wavelengths. Dispersion cannot occur without refraction because the bending of light during refraction is necessary for different colors to be refracted at different angles, leading to dispersion.

What does the amount of refraction depend on the two materials?

The amount of refraction that occurs at the interface between two materials depends on the difference in their refractive indices. A greater difference in refractive indices between two materials will result in a larger amount of refraction.
