Question
Explain Tyndall effect and Brownian movement with suitable diagram.
Advertisements
Solution
1. Tyndall Effect:
When a strong beam of light is focused on a colloidal solution the path of the beam becomes visible.
This phenomenon is called as Tyndall effect. The illuminated path is called Tyndall cone. This phenomenon is due to scattering of light by colloidal particles.
2. Brownian movement:
It is a kinetic property. When colloidal solution are viewed under powerful microscope, it can be seen that colloidal particles are moving constantly and rapidly in zig-zag directions. The Brownian movement of particles is due to the unbalanced bombardment of the particles by the molecules of dispersion medium.
