Dispersion
Dispersion is the phenomenon of splitting of white light into its constituent colors (spectrum) when passing through a dispersive medium like a prism, caused by the variation of refractive index with wavelength.
Importance in UPSCUPSC में महत्व
Essential for understanding optical phenomena, atmospheric science (rainbows, sky color), and advanced communication technologies (fiber optics).
