Tyndall effect:

  • “The phenomenon of scattering of a beam of light by colloidal particles, when passed through a colloidal solution, is called the Tyndall effect”.
  • When light is passed through a colloidal solution, it is observed that the colloidal particles do not permit the light to pass through it completely.
  • Therefore, the light beam is scattered by the particles of the colloid, and hence, the path of the scattered light becomes illuminated or visible.
  • This effect can be used to verify a colloidal solution.
