Question

A suspension is transparent to light.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Suspensions: A heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles remain suspended in the solution.

• The diameter of the size of the particles is larger than 10^-6 m.
• These particles can be seen with the naked eye and settle down if left undisturbed for some time.

Suspensions are not clear and transparent in appearance due to which they are not transparent to light. Instead, they are dirty or cloudy in appearance resulting in non-transparency to light passing through it.

• Example: Muddy water is a suspension. Even when the mud settles down, the water is dirty and will not be transparent to light.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
