Dispersion Of White Light By A Glass Prism<\/strong><\/h2>\n
What happens when light falls on the surface of a compact disc (CD) or a prism? We see that when light falls on a CD or. a prism, it splits up into its many colours. The process of splitting up of white light into many colours is called dispersion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
The band of colours produced when white light is split up is called a spectrum<\/strong>.\u00a0A spectrum is formed when white light passes through a prism. A rainbow is an example of a spectrum. Water droplets in the sky split up the sun\u2019s rays and form a spectrum, which is called a rainbow.<\/p>\n
