When light scatters into its components colour lights, it is called scattering of light. For sun light, also called white light, the components are VIBGYOR i.e. Violet, Imdigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. Rainbow is the best example you can get for scattering of light. In Rainbow the Water Particles in the air separates the sunlight into its components.
Tyndall effect is bit different from scattering of light. When light is scattered by tiny particles present in the air, it is called tyndall effect. For example, you are in a dark room and you have small window from where sunlight is coming in, they you will observe that the particles are visible inside the ray of light. This is Tyndall Effect.
In Tyndall effect the light is not separated to its component parts. While in Scattering of Light which is Dispersion, the light is seperated to its component parts.
