Q. The phenomenon observed when a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution is

A) Cataphoresis
B) Delectrophoresis
C) Coagulation
D) Tyndall effect
Explanation

(d)
On passing a beam of light through a colloidal solution, the colloidal particles adsorb light energy and then emit it in all the possible directions. This phenomenon is called scattering of light or Tyndall effect.
Note: Tyndall effect is not observed in true solutions.
