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 else can I help you with?
The dependence of wave speed and index of refraction on wavelenght is called?
Dispersion.
What are the seven properties of light?
refection refraction diffraction polarization interference dispersion photoelectric effect
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).
Why does dispersion not occur in hollow prism?
Dispersion occurs when different wavelengths of light are refracted by different amounts, causing them to separate. In a hollow prism, there is no material inside to refract the light, so dispersion does not occur. The light simply passes through the empty space without undergoing any refraction.
How are rainbows formed using dispersion refraction and reflexion in the answer?
Rainbows are formed when sunlight is refracted as it enters a raindrop, then internally reflects off the back of the drop, and finally exits through refraction. This process separates the sunlight into its individual colors due to dispersion, creating the arc of colors that we see in a rainbow.

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.

Light remains unchanged when it goes from matter?
Many phenomenons can occur: refraction, reflexion, absorption, dispersion, scattering, transmission.
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)
Why dispersion occurs only during refraction not reflection?
Dispersion occurs during refraction because different wavelengths of light bend at different angles when they pass through a medium, leading to separation of colors. In reflection, light waves maintain their original composition as they bounce off a surface and do not bend or separate into different colors.
What are the applications of dispersion without deviation?
no
Is the result of diffraction refraction reflection interference or dispersion?
The result of diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through small openings.
