The Tyndall Effect, named after the Irish physicist John Tyndall, refers to the scattering of light by colloidal particles suspended in a transparent medium. When a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution or a fine suspension, the light is scattered in all directions, making the path of the light visible. This phenomenon is observed when the size of the particles in the dispersed phase of the mixture is like the wavelength of light. Enroll now at Tutoroot.
