Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.

Question

Dispersion occurs when:
a. some materials bend light more than other materials.
b. a material slows down some wavelengths more than others.
c. a material changes some frequencies more than others.
d. light has different speeds in different materials.
