The Tyndall effect is observed only when following conditions are satisfied :
(a) The diameter of the dispersed particles is much smaller than the wavelength of the light used.
(b) The diameter of the dispersed particles is not much smaller than the wavelength of the light used
(c) The refractive indices of the dispersed phase and dispersion medium are almost similar in magnitude.
(d) The refractive indices of the dispersed phase and dispersion medium differ greatly in magnitude.

A

(i) and (ii)

B

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

For Tyndall effect, refractive indices of dispersed phase and dispersion medium must differ significantly. Secondly, size of the dispersed particles should not differ much from the wavelength of light used.
