Question

teacher says that light will be scattered when passed through the colloidal solution. justify the statement by giving some suitable assumptions​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The particles of a colloid are uniformly spread throughout the solution. Due to the relatively smaller size of particles, as compared to that of a suspension, the mixture appears to be homogeneous. But actually, a colloidal solution is a heterogeneous mixture, for example, milk. Because of the small size of colloidal particles, we cannot see them with naked eyes. But, these particles can easily scatter a beam of visible light . This scattering of a beam of light is called the Tyndall effect. Mark my answer as a brainliest answer

Answer 2

Answer:

This is because of tyndall effect.Due to which light scatter when something come in its path.

In a colloidal solution the particles are big enough to scatter the beam of light.Hence tyndall effect occurs.

Another example of tyndall effect is scattering of light when the long tress come in path of sunlight.
