Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection takes place when the light does not pass into the material, but is instead "bounced" off the surface. Refraction occurs when the light passes into the material. ... Dispersion occurs when different wavelengths of light are refracted different amounts, separating the light into its constituent colors
