Dispersion: The speed of light is slower in various materials than it is in a vacuum or outer space. When the light passes into a material at an angle‚ the light beam is bent or refracted according to Snell’s Law and the index of refraction of the material. But also‚ the speed of light through a material varies slightly with the wavelength or frequency of the light.
