Tyndall effect The scattering of light

Tyndall effect The scattering of light as it passes through colloidal suspensions. 

Tyndall effect the scattering of light by particles in a suspension. (17.8)... 

Unlike a true solution, colloidal suspensions will scatter light, a phenomenon known as the Tyndall effect. The beam of light in a smoke filled theatre is visible due to the Tyndall effect. 

Figure 14.3 Particles in a colloid scatter light, unlike particles in a solution. Called the Tyndall effect, the beam of light is visible in the colloid because of light scattering. 

Tyndall effect The scattering of a beam of visible light by the particles in a colloidal dispersion. 

Tyndall effect The scattering of visible light by colloidal particles. (13.7)... 

The study of the scattering of light by colloidal systems has a long history. The Tyndall effect describes the scattering of light by suspended particles. In fact, the first rigorous theory was that of Rayleigh in 1871. 

The scattering of light by particles is called the Tyndall effect (Fig. 17.22) and is often used to distinguish between a suspension and a true solution. 

Tyndall effect (p. 479) The scattering of light by colloidal particles. 

The scattering of light from automobile headlights by fogs and mists is an example of the Tyndall effect, as is the scattering of a light beam in a laser show by dust particles in the air in a darkened room. 

Formation gives clusters of such a size as to be detected by standard techniques for colloidal solutions such as Tyndall s beam effect where scattering of light by the solution occurs. 

Tyndall Effect A beam of light distinguishes a colloid from a solution The particles in a colloid will scatter making the beam visible. The mixture of gelatin and water in the jar on the right is a colloid. The mixture of water and sodium chloride in the jar on the left is a true solution.
