'Dispersion of Light' can be defined as the splitting of white light when it passes through a glass prism into its constituent spectrum of colors (i.e. violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red).
Light can be split into seven wavelengths when the light is passed through a prism or scatterd by air molecules in the atmosphere.
The term diffraction has to do with the splittiing of light into several wavelengths. This is often achieved by passing the light through a prism which splits it into seven wavelengths.
Hence, light can be split into seven wavelengths when the light is passed through a prism or scatterd by air molecules in the atmosphere.
