Solution

Tyndall effect is the phenomenon by which the path of the light becomes visible due to scattering of the particles. The particles of colloids scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path visible. True solutions do not show Tyndall effect. Scattering of light or Tyndall effect is exhibited by colloidal and fine suspension particles. [2 Marks]
