Phenomenon observed when beam of light passes through a colloid?

The Tyndall effect is observed when a beam of light passes through a colloid, causing the light to scatter and become visible. This phenomenon occurs due to the particles in the colloid being large enough to scatter light, unlike in a true solution where particles are too small to scatter light. The Tyndall effect is commonly used to determine if a mixture is a true solution or a colloid.


Why true solution do not scatter light?

True solutions do not scatter light because their solute particles are molecular or ionic in size, which is much smaller than the wavelength of visible light. As a result, the light waves pass through the solution without being deflected or scattered. This contrasts with colloidal solutions, where larger particles can scatter light, leading to phenomena like the Tyndall effect. In true solutions, the uniform distribution of solute at the molecular level allows for clear transmission of light.


What does it mean that colloids scatter light?

When colloids scatter light, it means that the particles in the colloid are large enough to disrupt the path of light passing through them. This scattering effect causes the light to be reflected in different directions, making the colloid appear cloudy or opaque.


Why only lyophobic colloids show tyndall effect?

Lyophobic colloids have particles that repel the dispersion medium, preventing them from easily mixing. This causes the particles to scatter light, which is why they exhibit the Tyndall effect. In lyophilic colloids, the particles have an affinity for the dispersion medium and do not scatter light as effectively.

What objects scatter light?

Any small slit will scatter light. Especially blue light.


Do suspensions scatter light?

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.


Which mixture would not scatter light?

A solution with uniformly sized particles smaller than the wavelength of light will not scatter light.

Why do different elements have different colors?

The color of objects is determined by their ability to reflect, absorb, scatter or transmit light and also by the anatomy& physiology of the eye and brain.


Which element in your atmosphere causes scatter of light?

The element in the atmosphere that causes scatter of light is nitrogen. When sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, nitrogen molecules scatter shorter wavelengths of light, such as blue and violet, which is why the sky appears blue to our eyes.


What are objects that reflect scatter or transmit light said to be?

Objects that reflect light are said to be "reflective", objects that scatter light are said to be "diffusive", and objects that transmit light are said to be "transparent" or "translucent".
