The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The splitting of light into different colours (or wavelengths) when it passes through a prism is known as dispersion. This occurs because different wavelengths of light bend by different amounts when they pass through the prism, creating a spectrum of colours. Thus, the correct answer is \( \boxed{\text{Dispersion of light}} \).
