Depends on the amount of scattering. In fog, or in slightly cloudy water, it's easy to see a beam of light. In a vacuum, no scattering effects are seen.

Explain What happens when a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution and why?

When a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution, the light scatters off the suspended particles in the solution in all directions. This scattering of light is known as the Tyndall effect. The intensity of the scattered light depends on the size of the particles in the colloidal solution.


Explain what happens when a beam of light passes through a gold solution?

A part of this light is absorbed.


When a light beam passes through a medium the beam can change direction and appear to bend and the process is called what?

Refraction.


What is a light through a crack called?

A light shining through a crack is called a beam of light. It can produce a visible streak or column of light that passes through the opening.


Is a beam of light visible as it passes through a colloid?

No, a beam of light is not visible as it passes through a colloid because the particles in the colloid are small and do not scatter light significantly, unlike in a suspension where the particles are bigger. This lack of scattering prevents the beam of light from being visible.


What is the light beam size regulated by?

The size of a light beam is regulated by the aperture of the lens or the diameter of the opening through which the light passes. A smaller aperture will create a narrower and more focused beam of light, while a larger aperture will create a wider beam.


When a beam of light falls on a surface it is called?

When a beam of light falls on a surface, it is called reflection if it bounces off the surface, or refraction if it passes through the surface and changes direction.


Light is scattered as it passes through a?

medium with particles that are smaller than the wavelength of the light. This scattering causes the light to change direction and spread out, making it appear as if the beam is diffused or dispersed in different directions.


What happens to a laser beam when you pass it through a silt?

When a laser beam passes through a silt, the particles in the silt scatter the light, causing the beam to lose coherence and intensity. This effect is known as light scattering, and the laser beam may appear diffused or weakened as it passes through the silt.


Is beam of light is visible or invisible as it passes through a solution?

It depends on the solution. If the solution is clear and transparent, the beam of light will be visible as it passes through. However, if the solution is opaque or colored, the beam of light may be invisible or difficult to see.


Is the TEM one of the types of a compound microscope?

No, the TEM is a transmission electron microsope which passes a beam of electron particles through an ultra thin specimen in a vacuum producing high magnification. A compound microscope uses ordinary light passed through a series of convex glass lenses with limited magnification.
