In optical fibers, multi-path dispersion occurs in a wide core because light travelling along the axis of the core travels a shorter distance per metre of a fiber than light that repeatedly undergoes total internal reflection. A pulse of light sent along a wide core would become longer that it ought to be. If it was too long, it would merge with the next pulse.

Dispersion is an abstract quality of a sample of data. Dispersion is how far apart or scattered the data values appear to be. Common measures of dispersion are the data range and standard deviation.

Relative dispersion = coefficient of variation = (9000/45000)(100) = 20.
