Yes, colloids scatter light. Colloids are mechanical mixtures; all mechanical mixtures scatter light. Solutions are the only mixtures that do not scatter light.
The scattering of light by mixtures is known as the Tyndall effect, btw.

What mixtures scatter a beam of light that passes through them-a phenomenon called the Tyndall effect?
These mixtures are colloids or very fine suspensions.
What is one property of a suspension that is different from that of a sulotion or a colloid?
they are able to scatter light
Which can be given IV suspensions or solutions?
we cant give suspensions by intravenously, only solutions we can. because suspensions can blocks the blood vessels.

Why do light waves scatter?
Each colour of light has a different wave length which are affected differently by refraction so they spread out and 'scatter'.
