explain tyndall effect more deeply

Shukla Paladhi · Accepted Answer

Hi!
What Vaibhav has written is
absolutely correct Let me elaborate this for more clear
understanding
The scattering of
light by the colloidal particles is known as Tyndall effect
Actually, it is the visible scattering of light along the
path of a beam of light as it passes through a system containing
discontinuities, such as the surfaces of colloidal particles in a
colloidal solution

Tyndall scattering occurs when the
dimensions of the particles that are causing the scattering are
larger than the wavelength of the radiation that is scattered
It is caused by reflection of the
incident radiation from the surfaces of the particles, refraction
and diffraction of the radiation as it passes through the
particles
