Opaque surfaces like a mirror or a brick wall do not scatter or settle light because they reflect light rays. The light rays bounce off these surfaces instead of passing through them, resulting in a lack of scattering or settling.
A solution with uniformly sized particles smaller than the wavelength of light will not scatter light.
translucent
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".
Yes, suspension can scatter light. When light passes through a suspension, the particles in the suspension can cause the light to scatter in different directions due to interactions with the particles. This scattering can be used to determine properties of the suspension, such as particle size and concentration.
This type of mixture is called a colloidal suspension. The particles in a colloidal suspension are larger than those in a solution, making them scatter light and giving the mixture a cloudy appearance. Despite being suspended, the particles do not settle out due to Brownian motion keeping them dispersed throughout the medium.
Substances that do not settle or scatter light are typically transparent or translucent materials. These materials allow light to pass through them with minimal interference. Examples of such materials include clear glass, air, and water. When light passes through these substances, it does not scatter or settle; instead, it continues in a relatively straight path. This is in contrast to opaque materials, which absorb or reflect light, causing it to scatter or settle.
A colloid is a type of mixture in which medium-sized particles do not settle out on standing and scatter light. However, a suspension is a type of mixture with medium-sized particles that do settle out on standing and can scatter light.
it's the answer
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.
Any small slit will scatter light. Especially blue light.
A solution with uniformly sized particles smaller than the wavelength of light will not scatter light.
no
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.
