Can Tyndall effect be used to distinguish between a colloidal solution and a true solution ? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Tyndall elect is used to distinguish between a colloidal solution and a true solution. True solution placed in dark and is observed in the direction of the light passed beam passing through it. It appears clear and it is observed from a direction at right angles to the direction of the light beam, it appears perfectly dark.
Colloidal solution viewed in the same way may appear reasonably clear in the direction of light but they show a mild to strong opalescence when viewed at right angles to the direction of light.
