Depending upon the solution, the light waves may be refracted or reflected.

However, if you are asking about low mass/low density particles, in general they will tend to accumulate towards the top of the solution based upon relative differences in density.

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, the light scatters off the suspended particles in the solution in all directions. This scattering of light is known as the Tyndall effect. The intensity of the scattered light depends on the size of the particles in the colloidal solution.


What happens to the particles of solute?

It all depends on the particles and the solution


What happens to the particles of a solute when a solution form?

The particles of solute dissolve in the solvent when the solution forms.


What happens when a solution is ionic does the light bulb glow?

When a solution is ionic, it contains charged particles (ions) that can conduct electricity. If an electric current is passed through the solution, the ions move and allow the flow of electricity. If a light bulb is connected in the circuit and the ionic solution is conductive enough, the bulb will glow, indicating that the current is flowing through the solution.


What is a homogeneous mixture that contains particles that scatter light?

They are called "colloids". These have large particles that are suspended in a solution.


What happens to the particles of air when energy is trannsferred to air?

The more energy a substance has the faster its particles in solution will move.


What happens when paper with a gelatin based solution is coated with silver nitrate solution?

When paper with a gelatin-based solution is coated with silver nitrate solution, a light-sensitive layer called silver halide is formed. The silver halide particles react with light to create a latent image. This image can be developed and fixed to produce a visible photograph.


Why the suspension solution does not allow the light to pass through them?

suspension solution does not allow the light to pass through it because particles present in the solution are larger in the size so they absorb the light and they obstruct the path. thus the light does not pass through it.


How do you test whether a given solution is a colloidal solution?

If it shows the presence of colloidal particles in solution, by scattering any beam of light that falls directly onto it in a direction different from the direction from which the light impinges.


What is the Tyndall effect of sugar solution?

The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by particles in a colloid or fine suspension, making the beam of light visible. In a sugar solution, which is a true solution (not a colloid), the particles are too small to scatter light significantly, so the Tyndall effect is not observed.


Which mixture would not scatter light?

A solution with uniformly sized particles smaller than the wavelength of light will not scatter light.


What happens when a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution?

When a strong beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution, then scattering of light is absorbed.
