A Final Word When John Tyndall discovered the phenomenon of scattering light from colloids, he probably didn’t think that it would lead to the foundation of a new branch of science—Spectroscopy.This area of study deals with detecting the properties of an unknown substance by analyzing the spec...
Tyndall effect, scattering of a beam of light by a medium containing small suspended particles—e.g., smoke or dust in a room, which makes visible a light beam entering a window. As in Rayleigh scattering, short-wavelength blue light is scattered more st
Shining a flashlight beam into a glass of milk is an excellent demonstration of the Tyndall effect. You might want to use skim milk or dilute the milk with a bit of water so you can see the effect of the colloid particles on the light beam. An example of how the Tyndall effect scatter...
The Tyndall EffectSteve Schuler
Named after John Tyndall, the Tyndall effect refers to the scattering of light by particles in a mixed. Tyndall observed that a beam of light that passes through smoke appears blue from the sides but red from the end, which lead him to conclude that the blue light was being scattered by ...
Question: Does milk show the Tyndall effect? Tyndall Effect: The Tyndall effect refers to the scattering of light caused by the evenly distributed particles in a colloidal dispersion. Its common example is when a the beam of a flashlight is visible when shown through a fog, smoke, or smog....

The optical property of birefringence was also found to be a determining factor although its effect was not studied quantitatively. It is shown that by combining the equation expressing the relation between particle size and strength of Tyndall beam with the mathematical relation between degree of ...
