Best Answer

Diffraction = The amount of light passing through a photographic lens being adjusted by a diaphragm.

Dispersion = The splitting of light of different colors due to the different indices of refraction at different wavelengths when the light enters a lens or prism.

What is the difference between x-ray diffraction and electron diffraction?

Although many people would not fully understand this electron diffraction gives you only one plane. X-Ray diffraction will give you a scattering of all the planes in one measurement.


What is the difference between diffusion and dispersion?

Diffusion is generally the process in which a constituent moves through a concentration gradient and dispersion is referred to the bulk flow of the molecules.
