Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Light scattering in colloid system is known as ____
A
Brownian motion
B
Tyndall effect
C
Coagulation
D
Electrophoresis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Tyndall effect is the phenomenon in which the particles in a colloid scatter the beams of light that are directed at them. This effect is exhibited by all colloidal solutions and some very fine suspensions. Therefore, it can be used to verify if a given solution is a colloid.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Tyndall effect is light scattering by particles in a colloid or in a very fine suspension.

Detailed explanation-3: -However, Rayleigh scattering occurs from particles much smaller than the wavelength of light, while the Tyndall effect occurs from particles roughly the same size as the wavelength of light. The effect is named for the 19th-century British physicist John Tyndall, who first studied it extensively.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Tyndall effect (Tyndall scattering) is scattering of light by particles in a colloid or else particles in a very fine suspension. Example: flour suspended in water appears to be blue because only scattered light reaches the viewer and blue light is scattered by the flour particles more than red.
