Answer:
The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light as a light beam passes through a colloid. The individual suspension particles scatter and reflect light, making the beam visible. The amount of scattering depends on the frequency of the light and density of the particles.

The phenomenon of scattering of light when a light beam passes through a fluid (colloid) is known as Tyndall effect, while the random movement of particles in a fluid (colloid) is the Brownian motion, it occurs due to the collisions of the particles.
◆ Tyndall effect -
Tyndall effect is scattering of a beam of light by the particles of a colloid.
◆ Brownian motion -
Brownian motion is random motion of fluid particles bombarding on each other.
# For example -
Milk being a colloid (liquid fat in water), shows Tyndall effect.
When beam of light is passed through milk, it's scattered through the milk.
Here, path of light becomes visible due to Tyndal effect.
