Tyndall Effect

Explanation

Tyndall Effect

It is a phenomenon brought about by scattering of light by particles in a colloid or particles in a fine suspension. It very well may be seen when the light goes through the colloids or turbid substances, making the light disperse in numerous ways.

The light discharged from a particle after the scattering seems to be of various hues, contingent upon its wavelength. The purpose of this particular scattering is the connection between the intensity of the light being dissipated and its wavelength. The measure of light scattered is conversely corresponding to the fourth exponential power of its wavelength. This implies shorter wavelength of light, (for example, violet or blue) are scattered undeniably more than longer frequencies, (for example, red or yellow).
