No, the Tyndall effect is observed only in colloids.
The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by particles in a colloid or fine suspension, making the beam of light visible. In a sugar solution, which is a true solution (not a colloid), the particles are too small to scatter light significantly, so the Tyndall effect is not observed.
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.
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).
Because of the different properties of solutions and suspensions, a beam of light can be used to differentiate the two. If a beam of light passes through the sample, it is a solution, not a suspension. Conversely, if a beam of light does not pass through a sample completely, it is a suspension, not a solution.
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.

Colloidal solutions exhibit the Tyndall effect, where light is scattered by large particles or molecules in the solution, making the beam visible. This effect is not observed in true solutions where the particles are too small to scatter light. Examples of colloidal solutions that exhibit the Tyndall effect include milk, fog, and smoke.
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.
The tyndall effect is a result of scattering from colloids that are around the wavelength of light, this is why milk does not appear blue.
One test to determine if a mixture is a true solution or a colloid is the Tyndall effect. If light passing through the mixture scatters, making the beam visible, it suggests the presence of larger particles characteristic of a colloid. In contrast, a true solution will not scatter light and the beam will be invisible.
Colloids produce the Tyndall effect because their particles are larger than the particles in a solution, allowing them to scatter light. When a beam of light passes through a colloid, it interacts with the dispersed particles, causing the light to become visible as a scattered beam. This scattering effect is what makes the colloid appear to be cloudy or milky when illuminated.
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.
These mixtures are colloids or very fine suspensions.

A true solution is a homogeneous mixture where the solute particles are completely dissolved in the solvent and cannot be separated through filtration. A colloid, on the other hand, is a heterogeneous mixture where the solute particles are dispersed but not dissolved in the solvent, and they can be separated through filtration or centrifugation. The distinction is based on the size of the particles and their ability to pass through a filter.
