Question:
The Tyndall effect is the phenomenon in which the particles in a colloid scatter the beams of light that are directed at them. This effect is exhibited by all colloidal solutions and some very fine suspensions. Therefore, it can be used to verify if a given solution is a colloid. The intensity of scattered light depends on the density of the colloidal particles as well as the frequency of the incident light.
The path followed by the scattered light becomes visible to the observer because different _____________ of light are scattered to different extents.
Options:
intensities
wavelength
amount
None of above
Correct Answer:
wavelength
