the Tyndall effect
The Tyndall effect, or Tyndall scattering, was named after 19th century physicist John Tyndall. It has to do with light scattering through particles in a suspension.
Suspensions and colloids exhibit the Tyndall Effect. When a beam of light is shone on either of these mixtures, it will be scattered by the continuous movement of the particles and not shine through to the other side.
It means that light shines through the particles of the colloid.
Because of the different properties of solutions and suspensions, a beam of light can be used to differentiate the two. If a beam of light passes through the sample, it is a solution, not a suspension. Conversely, if a beam of light does not pass through a sample completely, it is a suspension, not a solution.

The Tyndall effect is observed in colloids (solid-gas, solid-liquid, etc.).

The phenomenon of scattering of light by colloidal particles as a result of which the path of the beam becomes visible visible is called Tyndall effect. Causes : The colloidal particles first absorb the incident light and then part of it gets scattered by them. Since the intensity of the scattered light is at right angles to the plane of the incident light, the part becomes visible only when seen in that direction.
The name is helios and it is roman for sun
The Tyndall Effect is primarily used to distinguish a colloid and a solution. This is done by observing how light scatters when it is put through the substance.

When a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution it scatters because of tyndall effect.
Sunlight is slowed MOST when traveling through water
Tyndall effect can be used to identify the colloidal solution. colloidal solutions shows tyndall effect which is nothing but scattering of light due to presence of colloidal particles having diameter 10-4 to 10-7 cm. But it is observed by use of flash light and not by the use of diffuse light. colloidal particles can't be seen through naked eyes. So need to check by tyndall effect.
