Tyndall Effect
When a beam of light passes through a
colloid solution, the colloidal particles present in the solution do not allow the beam of light to completely pass through . When beam of light collides with the colloidal
particles of the colloidal solution its scattered or deviates
from normal trajectory path This
scattering makes the path of the light beam visible just like to cone its
called tyndall cone and phenomena called tyndall effect.
· Examples of the Tyndall Effect:-
Milk is a colloid that contains globules of fat and protein. When a beam of light passes through milk , the light is scattered and milk appear blue colour Generally, blue light is scattered to a greater extent when compared to red light. This is because the wavelength of blue light is smaller than that of red light
