Dispersion of light:
- Dispersion of light is the phenomenon of splitting of a beam of white light into its constituent colours on passing through a prism.
- The band of seven colours so obtained is called the (visible) spectrum.
- The dispersion of white light occurs because the colours of white light travel at different speeds through the glass prism.
EXPLANATION:
- When the dispersion of white light takes place through a prism, the maximum deviation is suffered by violet colour and minimum deviation suffered red colour. Therefore option 2 is correct.
