Topic: dispersion's poster child example of light passing through a prism.
EK & Kaplan both say that violet bends to a greater extent than the other visible colors, b/c it has a greater frequency. Cool. But they don't say WHY?!
P.S. Whenever, one sees a "rainbow" of colors in a prism, rainbow, soap bubble, that's due to "dispersion", correct?
