the Tyndall effect
interstellar extinction. This phenomenon occurs due to the absorption and scattering of light by dust and gas particles present in the interstellar medium, leading to a decrease in the observed brightness of the starlight.
Shine a light through it. If there are particles scattered, then it's a colloid
The liquid XYZ is likely a colloid. Colloids consist of tiny particles that are evenly dispersed throughout the liquid, causing the light to scatter as it passes through. The particles are small enough to remain suspended in the liquid and do not settle to the bottom, explaining the absence of a precipitant.
The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by the particles in a colloid or fine suspension. This effect causes the beam of light to become visible as it passes through the colloidal mixture or suspension due to the reflection and dispersion of light by the particles.
Yes, the equator passes through GABON.
One way to differentiate between a solution and a colloid is through the Tyndall effect. In a solution, light passes through without scattering, while in a colloid, light scatters because the particles are large enough to reflect light. This can be observed by shining a light through the mixture - if the light beam is visible, it is a colloid, whereas if the beam is not visible, it is a solution.
Yes, diffraction can be observed in water. When light passes through water, it can be diffracted or bent as it encounters obstacles or changes in density within the water. This phenomenon is similar to diffraction observed with light passing through air or other media.
No, a beam of light is not visible as it passes through a colloid because the particles in the colloid are small and do not scatter light significantly, unlike in a suspension where the particles are bigger. This lack of scattering prevents the beam of light from being visible.
The name of the phenomenon is refraction.
Colloid silver first passes into the stomach, most of it will continue on that path out of the body. Some is absorbed into the blood stream though and able to pass with-out issue.

When a ray of light passes through a prism, it undergoes refraction, causing it to bend and split into its component colors due to differences in wavelengths. This phenomenon is known as dispersion.
Yes, light can be diffracted. Diffraction refers to the bending of light waves when they encounter an obstacle or slit that is similar in size to the wavelength of light. This phenomenon is commonly observed when light passes through small openings, resulting in interference patterns.
The Tyndall effect is used to distinguish between a solution and a colloid. In a solution, light passes through without scattering, while in a colloid, the dispersed particles cause light to scatter, making the beam visible.
