Solution

The correct option is A True

The splitting of white light into its component colours is called dispersion. When white light passes through a glass prism it disperses into Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red coloured light. Dispersion is caused due to the difference in wavelengths of different coloured lights.
