Detailed Solution

Tyndall effect: the scattering of light by colloidal particles that makes the light path visible.

Common examples

  • Sunlight streaming into a dark room through a crack/vent.
  • Headlight beams visible in fog/smog.
  • Sunbeams radiating from behind clouds.
  • Light scattered by tiny water droplets or dust in air.

Checking the options

  • A. Sunbeam from ventilation — Yes. Classic Tyndall effect; dust/colloid in air scatters light, so the beam is visible.
  • B. Milk in a glass appears faint blue — No (not a visible beam). Milk is a colloid and does scatter light (hence bluish tint), but it doesn’t show a visible light path/beam here.
  • C. Sunbeam from behind clouds — Yes. Cloud droplets scatter sunlight, making distinct rays visible.
  • D. Flour suspended in water — Yes. Flour forms a colloid; the suspended particles scatter light, so the beam is seen.

Correct options: A, C, and D.
