Yes, colloids scatter light. Colloids are mechanical mixtures; all mechanical mixtures scatter light. Solutions are the only mixtures that do not scatter light.
The scattering of light by mixtures is known as the Tyndall effect, btw.
Solutions. Colloids contain particles that are intermediate in size between those found in solutions and suspensions, giving them characteristics of both. They appear homogeneous like solutions but can scatter light and exhibit the Tyndall effect like suspensions.
Yes, mixtures can be classified as solutions, suspensions, or colloids based on the size of the particles present. Solutions have particles that are very small and do not settle out, suspensions have larger particles that eventually settle, and colloids have intermediate-sized particles that do not settle but scatter light.

Suspension solutions can be either translucent or opaque, depending on the particle size and concentration of the suspended material. Translucent suspensions allow some light to pass through, while opaque suspensions block light completely.

The mixture containing particles that are too small to be seen easily but large enough to scatter a light beam is a colloidal mixture. These particles are known as colloids and they are intermediate in size between true solutions and suspensions.
Any small slit will scatter light. Especially blue light.
Yes, colloids can block or scatter light due to the dispersion of particles within the medium. This phenomenon is known as the Tyndall effect and is commonly observed in colloidal suspensions where light is reflected or absorbed by the dispersed particles, making the solution appear cloudy or opaque.

called Tyndall effect. It occurs when light passes through a medium containing small particles that scatter the light, making the beam visible. The scattered light is mainly due to the reflection and refraction of light by the particles in the medium.

No, the Tyndall effect is not observed in true solutions. True solutions contain solute particles that are smaller than the wavelength of visible light, so they do not scatter light and appear transparent. The Tyndall effect is only observed in colloids or suspensions where the particles are larger and can scatter light, making the solution appear cloudy or opaque.
