Dispersion happens because the refractive index differs with:

AFirmness
BFineness
CFrequency
DFluidity
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Frequency
1. White light splits into colours through a prism. 2. Dispersion takes place because the refractive index of a medium for different frequencies is different. 3. So the correct answer is frequency. _Source: syllabus Physics Part II, Ch 9 'Ray Optics and Optical Instruments'_
