Use the tyndall effect to explain why it is more difficult to drive through fog using high beams than using low beams?

Fog is a colloid which disperses light that shines through it. Because high beams shine straight ahead and further down the road more of the light is able to be scattered and reflected back towards the driver.

Who gave their name to 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.
Explain What happens when a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution and why?
When a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution it scatters because of tyndall effect.
What mixture shows the Tyndall effect?
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.
The scattering of light by a colloid is called?
the scattering of light by colloids is known as tyndall effect. it is named after the scientist who discovered it.
The scattering of light by colloidal particles?
This is because there are solid particles suspended in the mixture although it is more stable than a suspension.
Who discovered Tyndall effect?
john tyndall
How can the Tyndall effect be used to distinguish between a colloid and a solution?
Colloidal particles can be detected by the Tyndall effect
Phenomenon observed when beam of light passes through a colloid?
the Tyndall effect
A solution shows a Tyndall effect or soap shows Tyndall effect?
soapy water will give a tyndall effect as it is a colloidal in nature.
What is the Tyndall effect of sugar solution?
Tyndall effect doesn't exist in a sugar solution.
Is tyndall effect observed in true solution?
No, the Tyndall effect is observed only in colloids.
What is the tyndall effect used to distinguish between?
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.
