Which of the following will show “Tyndall effect”? How can you demonstrate Tyndall effect in them?
(a) Salt solution
(b) Milk
(c) Copper sulphate solution
(d) Starch solution.
Since only colloidal solutions can show “Tyndall effect”; thus milk and starch solution is the correct option.
To demonstrate “Tyndall effect”:
(i) Milk:
● Pour the milk in a transparent container.
● Then take a torch and allow the light particles to pass through the milk particles.
● As the light particles come in contact with the milk particles, you will see, that the light particles gets scattered.
● This effect is known as the “Tyndall effect”.
(ii) Starch Solution:
● Pour the starch solution in a transparent container.
● Then take a torch and allow the light particles to pass through the starch particles.
● As the light particles come in contact with the starch particles, you will see, that the light particles gets scattered.
● This effect is known as the “Tyndall effect”.
