1. 1 Physics 212 – lecture 31: Dispersion and Total Internal Reflection Dispersion
Definition - the variation of index of refraction with wavelength 
Functional Form - shorter wavelengths of visible light refract more than longer wavelengths
Applications - prisms, gemstones, rainbows, spectroscopy (separation and identification of wavelengths emitted from a light source such as stars or chemical solutions)
