Is Tyndall effect possible in lemon juice

Answer 1

no Tyndall effect in the lemon juice

Answer 2

Answer:

Tyndall effect is not possible in lemon juice because lemon juice is a solution and not a true colloid.

Explanation:

• Tyndall Effect is the scattering of light through a colloidal solution like milk.
• Lemon juice is almost a solution with all its solutes like lemon concentrate, sugar or salt being mixed in the solvent water.
• If the lemon juice has colloidal particles like pieces of lemon or other suspended particles, then it might exhibit partial Tyndall Effect.
• Tyndall Effect takes place because the suspended particles in a colloid reflect the beam of light that is passed.
• Tyndall Effect depends on the particle size of the suspended colloidal particles.
