Q-00001685
Explain the Tyndall effect and how it makes particles visible.
1
It is the reflection of light by particles
2
It is the absorption of light by particles
3
It is the scattering of light by colloidal particles
4
It is the refraction of light by suspended particles
Answer and Solution
Answer
C. It is the scattering of light by colloidal particles
Solution:
The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles or suspended particles in a transparent medium. This effect makes the particles visible by causing the light to scatter in different directions, making the path of light visible. Therefore, the correct answer is 'It is the scattering of light by colloidal particles'.
