Dispersion: Different wavelengths have different velocities and therefore different indices of refraction. This leads to differentrefractive angles for different wavelengths. Thus the light is dispersed.The frequency does not change when n changes.
v f changes when medium changesf does not change when medium changes

Example: If the incident angle of red light striking glass in air is 30 degrees,what is the angle of refraction?
