During the dispersion of light, white light (which is a combination of all the colors of the visible spectrum) is separated into its component colors by different wavelengths. This process can be observed when light passes through a prism, causing it to separate into a rainbow of colors. Dispersion of light is responsible for phenomena such as rainbows and the colorful patterns seen in soap bubbles.
