  Dispersion is a kind of refraction which provided us colors of
light. This phenomenon is observed when white light passes
through a prism.
 A prism is a transparent optical element with flat and
polished surfaces that disperses light.
 It also breaks white light into constituent colors namely: red,

Dispersion orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (ROYGBIV).

The more energy in the wave, the Legend:

higher its frequency. The lower the nm (nanometer: unit of wavelength)
frequency is, the less energy in the THz (Terahertz: unit of frequency)
