Question

explain tyndall effect

Answer 1

Hello there!!


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.

 

hope helped!! :)

Answer 2

The tyndall effect, also known as Willis-Tyndall scattering , is light scattering by particle in colloid or else particles in a very fine suspension . It is named after the 19th - century John Tyndall
