• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Dispersion of light can be defined as the separation of white light beam into its constituent colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Colors are obtained when a white light beam gets dispersed on passing through a dispersive medium such as a prism. Dispersion of light occurs because light travels with different speeds in different media.
