Building on the 4UM’s model for white light, dispersion happens because of a diminishing G2 gravity field caused by a triangular prism.
Dispersion is the splitting of white light into a rainbow. There are some clues as to what causes
dispersion. The first clue comes from the fact that dispersion only happens in triangular prisms
and not in rectangular prisms.
Dispersion Using TPM’s White Light
In the figure below, the peaks in the lower end move down causing the peaks to move closer
together making them blue/violet. The peaks that are left behind have a more open space
leaving them more green. This process continues for each stream of G1 light. The peaks in the
upper end move down leaving some peaks behind which makes them look more red.
There could also be some streams of light at the upper end (red) that are in the infra-red
range but not visible. Some of the white light pushed at the lower end could be in the microwave
range, also not visible.
