What is meant by Tyndall effect? (or) Explain about the optical property of colloid.

Answer»

1. Colloids have optical property. When a homogeneous solution is seen in the direction of light, it appears clear but it appears dark in a perpendicular direction. 

2. When light passes through colloidal solution, it is scattered in all direction and it is known as Tyndall effect. 

3. The colloidal particles absorbs a portion of light and remaining portion is scattered from the surface of the colloid. Hence the path of light is made clear.
