Question

Why doesn't a suspension show Tyndall effect even though it scatters light

Open in App
Solution

Tyndall effect is due to scattering of light by particles of colloids. Those substance whose molecular size is in between 1 nm to 100 nm will do this. In suspension the particle size are too big to scatter the light. That is why suspension will not scatter light
