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.

∙ 10y agoThe Tyndall effect is when visible light scatters when trying to pass through a mixture. Those mixtures with smaller particles will not display this Tyndall effect as the light will pass through the mixture instead.

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.
Does air shows tyndall effect and if it shows why is it said to be homogenous?
Good question Air DOES show Tyndall effect as the dust particles in air help in the scattering of light...however air is considered homogeneous as there is even distribution of gases (nitrogen 71% Oxygen 28%) The air which shows Tyndall effect is polluted and polluted air is heterogeneous as the amounts of smoke in air can vary from place to place Hope this helps :)
Who discovered Tyndall effect?
john tyndall
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.
Is tyndall effect observed in true solution?
No, the Tyndall effect is observed only in colloids.
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.
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.
Is salt solution shows Tyndall effect?
Yes, it does because tyndall effect is caused by scattering of light by small particles in colloidal solutions in transparent medium. (colloid means the mixture of particles less than size of particles in suspension)
What type of mixture produces the Tyndall effect?
colloids and suspensions
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.
Is butter a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture?
Butter is a colloidal solution as it shows Tyndall effect. Tyndall effect is scattering of beam of light by the particles of colloidal solution. The dispersed phase in butter is liquid and dispersion medium is solid. The colloidal solution is always a part of heterogeneous mixture. Therefore, Butter is a heterogenous mixture.
Which mixture scatter a beam of light that passes through them-a phenomenon called the Tyndall effect?
The Tyndall effect is observed in colloids (solid-gas, solid-liquid, etc.).
Does air shows tyndall effect and if it shows why is it said to be homogenous?
Good question Air DOES show Tyndall effect as the dust particles in air help in the scattering of light...however air is considered homogeneous as there is even distribution of gases (nitrogen 71% Oxygen 28%) The air which shows Tyndall effect is polluted and polluted air is heterogeneous as the amounts of smoke in air can vary from place to place Hope this helps :)
Who discovered Tyndall effect?

How can the Tyndall effect be used to distinguish between a colloid and a solution?
Colloidal particles can be detected by the Tyndall effect

What is the Tyndall effect of sugar solution?
Tyndall effect doesn't exist in a sugar solution.
