Is Matter Around Us Pure?

Question:

(a) What is Tyndall effect? Doe true solution exhibit Tyndall effect.
(b) ‘‘Tyndall effect can be observed when sunlight passes through the canopy of dense forest. or we see a rich red sunset.’’ "Explain how this occurs.

Answer:

(a) The phenomenon by which colloidal particles scatter light is called Tyndall effect. The particles of a 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 Suspension particles.
(b) When sunlight passes through a canopy of forest, the colloidal misty air particles scatter the sunlight. Similarly, the seattering of light by smoke or dust particles (colloid) produce a rich red sunset.
