True.

Due to the difference in the speed the light of different colors bend at the different angles. In any transparent medium, The red light travels the fastest and the violet light slowest of all the seven colors. Therefore, the red light bends the least, and the violet light bends the most.

Thus dispersion of white light into seven colors occurs because the light of different colors travels at the different speed.
