These mixtures are colloids or very fine suspensions.
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.
because the components are easily seen through the solvent :)
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.
This process is carried out through Distillation phenomenon

the Tyndall effect
It means that light shines through the particles of the colloid.
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 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.
They can help identify colloids, a type of mixture in which one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another in the form of small particles, like milk, smoke, fog, etc. When you shine a bright light through a colloid, the light will scatter (like when you shine a flashlight through smoke), a phenomenon known as the Tyndall effect.
In true solutions the solute dissolves completely in the solvent at the molecular level, meaning that the solute particles are present at their molecular size - well below the size of a particle required to exhibit light scattering dispersion (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.
The required conditions for the observation of the Tyndall effect are:The diameter of the dispersed particle is not much smaller than the wavelength of the light used.The refractive indices of the dispersed phase and dispersion medium differ greatly in magnitude.
There are two ways to answer this: 1) Homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures: a) homogenous mixtures are uniform in their composition throughout (such as an aqueous solution of pure sodium chloride - salt water) b) heterogeneous mixtures are not uniform in their composition, containing a combination of different substances (such as milk, blood, etc.) 2) Solutions, colloids, and suspensions: a) solutions: - are homogenous mixtures; - have extremely small particle size; - usually transparent when light is shown through (light does not scatter off particles, due to small particle size) - Examples: unsaturated/saturated solution of salt water, hydrochloric acid, etc. b) colloids: - are typically heterogeneous mixtures; - have intermediate particle size; - stay suspended under normal conditions (do not settle out); display the Tyndall effect (scatter light well, due to particle size, such as when you shine a flashlight through a gallon jug of milk, and it illuminates the entire container) - Examples: milk, aerosols, smoke, mayonnaise c) suspensions: - are heterogeneous mixtures; - have large particle size; - will eventually settle out of suspension, separating into two or more parts (such as liquid and solid) when not agitated, under normal conditions; - Examples: muddy water, flour in water, paint, algae in water
Homogenous mixtures are broken down through absorpsion. Heterogeneous mixtures can be broken down through dichotomies
