  Dispersion of light is when white light is split into different colors (like a rainbow) as it passes through a medium, such as a prism or water droplets. It happens because different colors of light bend or refract at different angles.<div>
  </div><div>Scattering of light is when light gets redirected or spread out in various directions after interacting with particles or irregularities in a medium. It causes light to lose its original direction and may change its color or intensity.</div><div>
  </div><div>In simple terms, dispersion is about breaking light into colors, while scattering is about light getting scattered or spread out in different directions.</div>
