The 13 pages that link to Dispersion (optics), each with the reason it gives.

• DiamondRelated: Diamond’s dispersion produces colored flashes when cut surfaces redirect light.

• GemstoneRelated: Dispersion produces the colored flashes prized in diamonds and other gems.

• InterferenceCompared with: Dispersion separates colors through wavelength-dependent propagation, not wave cancellation.

• PrismRelated: Wavelength-dependent refraction spreads white light into colors inside a prism.

• Chromatic aberrationRelated: Wavelength-dependent refraction makes different colors focus at different positions.

• SphaleriteRelated: Sphalerite’s strong dispersion can produce vivid spectral flashes in faceted gems.

• Achromatic lensRelated: Different dispersions in paired glasses let the lens counterbalance color-dependent focusing.

• MonochromatorRelated: Wavelength-dependent deflection makes spectral selection possible.

• OpticksRelated: It explains the elongated spectrum produced in Newton’s prism experiments.

• Wave packetBroader topic: Frequency-dependent propagation speeds can stretch and distort optical packets.

• Sun dogRelated: Dispersion spreads a sun dog’s colors, with red typically nearest the Sun.

• Rainbow (optics)Related: Water bends each visible wavelength by a slightly different amount, spreading white sunlight into colors.

• TitaniteRelated: Strong dispersion gives faceted titanite conspicuous flashes of spectral color.
