Dispersion

When a narrow beam of white light passes through a

glass prism, the light splits into a range of colors. The
constituent colors of white light are refracted depending
on the wavelength of each color. The color with the
least wavelength refracts the most. A spectrum of colors
is formed when the white light emerges from the prism.
 Other properties of light
• Light travels in a straight line.
• It moves in a transversal wave motion.
• It has a speed of 3x10⁸ m/s
• It comes in the electromagnetic spectrum.
• It is the name given to the radiation which the
eye can detect.
