Additional Information
- The Tyndall effect is related to the scattering of light.
- The Tyndall effect is the phenomenon of scattering of light by particles in a colloid solution or in a very fine suspension.
- The amount of scattering depends on the frequency of the light and the density of the particles.
- The scattered light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength, so blue light is scattered much more strongly than red light.
- The Tyndall effect can be observed when sunlight passes through the canopy of a dense forest.
- In the forest, mist contains tiny droplets of water, which act as particles of colloid dispersed in the air.
- When white light is passed through a prism, the white light is separated into its component colors - red, yellow, green, orange, blue, and violet this phenomenon is known as the dispersion of light.
- Between two different media, the change in direction of a wave at a boundary is known as the reflection of light.
- A change in the direction of light when it enters a medium with a different density from the one through which it has been traveling is known as the refraction of light.
