What is a tyndall effect in chemistry?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

the tyndall effect occures when you shine a light through an object and small particles get in the way of the light reflecting them away, thus making it possible to see the light light when you shine a laser pointer through aerosol spray, the light hits the particles in the air and reflects them back to you.

Answer 3

The Tyndall Effect is one of the main ways you can distinguish the difference between a colloid and a substance. Mainly by scattering light when you put light through it. Whenever you can see a beam of light from the side, you are seeing the Tyndall effect. Take laser beams for example. Normally you can only see the end result of a laser beam--the red dot on a wall, but you can't see it traveling in the space in-between. But as it passes through fog or mist, you can see the trajectory of the beam.

TYNDALL EFFECT-scattering of light in colloids,

colloids are mixture containing particles that are intermediate in size between suspension and true solution.

Answer 5

It is more accurately known as Faraday Tyndall effects. This occurs when light passes through a colloidal dispersion and is scattered by the colloidal particles resulting in visible cones. Coarse dispersion i.e suspension and emulsion are white because of the scattering of the light. It is dependent on the refractive index of the dispersed and continuous phase. Hydrophilic colloids are hydrated so minimal tyndall effect can be observed. Hydrophobic colloids, however, Tyndall effect can be easily observed.

Answer 6

The Tyndall effect is light scattering by particles in a colloid or particles in a fine suspension.

Under the Tyndall effect, the longer-wavelength light is more transmitted while the shorter-wavelength light is more reflected via scattering.

Answer 7

The Tyndall effect is when light is scattered by particles in a suspension or a colloid of an otherwise clear medium, such as a glass of milk or cloud of smoke.
