dispersive
Dispersive refers to the spreading or scattering of something, often in different directions. In physics, it typically refers to the phenomenon where waves of different wavelengths travel at different speeds, causing them to separate and spread out, as seen in a prism dispersing white light into its constituent colors. In ecology, it could refer to the distribution of organisms in a habitat. Thus, the term can have slightly different meanings depending on the context.
