What is the Tyndall effect, and what does it distinguish?
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
The Tyndall effect is the scattering of a beam of light by the dispersed particles of a colloid, which makes the path of the beam visible. It distinguishes a colloidal solution from a true solution, whose particles are too small to scatter light appreciably.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
