A liquid is found to scatter a beam of light but leaves no residue when passed through the filter.What can the liquid be described as
Dear student,
This liquid be described as colloidal sol
And this scattering a beam of light but leaving no residue when passed through the filter are the properties of colloidal sol described below:

And this scattering a beam of light but leaving no residue when passed through the filter are the properties of colloidal sol described below:
- Filterability: Colloids require specialized filters known as ultrafilters for filtration. They readily pass through ordinary filter papers without yielding any residue.
- When we pass an intense converging beam of light through a colloidal solution kept in dark, the path of the beam gets illuminated with a bluish light. This phenomenon of scattering of light by colloidal particles is called Tyndall effect
