What is especially observed when a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution and viewed perpendicular to the path of incident light, the path of beam is illuminated by a bluish light. This phenomenon is called Tyndall effect. This is due to the fact that colloidal particles scatter light in all the directions in space.
