Is tyndall effect exhibited by the dust particles suspended in the movie projector's beam of light in a dark room?
The Tyndall effect, also called Tyndall scattering, is light scattering via particles in a fine suspension. This effect normally creates strange color tinges when only this scattered light is seen, whereas with the movie projector the only real effect of the dust is revealing the beam of light, as the light itself still hits the screen clearly.
Is water transparent or translucent and why?
transparent
Particles of light are called what?
Light particles are called Photons.
Is Light has many of the properties of waves but light can also act as though it is a stream of?
... particles.... particles.... particles.... particles.
Which is associated with weak light rays that travel in different directions?
scattering
What is the scattering of light caused by suspended particles?
tyndall effect
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.
What is a nephelometer?
Nephelometry is the quantitation of suspended particles by measurment of scattered light. This can be performed in either water or air. Nephelometers measure suspended particulates through focussing light on them and measuring the light scattering resulting from this.
What is scattering process?
The phenomenon in which particles of the medium deviate light in a lateral direction is called scattering of light.
Why do colloids show 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).
What is the spreading out of light rays as a result of reflection by particles?
scattering
Why are space telescopes better than other telescopes?
They don't have to cope with the problems of light pollution, scattering, distortion, and twinkling caused by air, its movement, and particulates suspended in it.
The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by the particles in a what?
Colloid or Suspension Solution

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 is the scattering of a beam of visible light by the particles in a colloidal dispersion?
Tyndall effect
In optics the transfer of light energy to particles of matter is called?
Absorption
