Detailed Solution

All suspensions and solutions of colloidal particles exhibit the Tyndall effect. It is a phenomena that is seen as a result of colloidal and suspension particles scattering light. Light cannot entirely pass through a colloidal solution when it enters because colloid particles disperse the light beam in many directions.

Tyndall impact in colloid and solution
When a strong, convergent light beam passes through a colloidal solution, its path is evident when the light beam is viewed perpendicularly. Because of the colloidal particles' ability to scatter light, this phenomenon is known as the Tyndall effect.
