A)scattering
B)diffusion
C)dispersion
D)polarization

Answer 1

A prism breaking a beam of white light into it's component colors is called dispersion.

Answer 2

C) dispersion

Step-by-step explanation:

Dispersion by a Prism: If a prism is placed in a room and a narrow beam of white light is allowed to fall on one of its refracting faces, it is found that light coming out from the other face of the prism is split in to seven colors i.e violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. in dispersion lit is split into different light the colours of rainbow

polarization is wen lit is made to move in a single direction as it passes trou a polaroid

scattering is wen lit moves wit different waves in several directions from a source

Diffused light is a soft light
