Final answer:

Dispersion of white light is the separation of white light into its constituent colors due to the change in refractive index with wavelength. Violet light bends the most, while red light bends the least when passing through a glass prism.


Explanation:

Dispersion of white light refers to the spreading of white light into its full spectrum of wavelengths due to the variation of the index of refraction with wavelength. When white light passes through a prism, it separates into colors known as a rainbow or a sequence from red to violet. In this dispersion, violet light bends the most and red light bends the least.
