Why does the simple ray (Strahlenmodell) model of light fail to fully explain the dispersion of white light into a spectrum by a glass prism?

Because the refractive index of glass depends on the wavelength of light, a fact the basic ray model does not include Because light travels faster in glass than in air Because red light is absorbed more strongly by glass than blue light Because the ray model assumes light is a particle, and particles cannot be refracted
