Which of the following statements is incorrect about the Tyndall effect?
Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:
The correct option for answer is c). The Tyndall effect occur due to scattering of light. So if it is a perfectly homogeneous medium then light will not scatter, so you can not see light path. Also the scattering of light is wavelength and particle size dependent. That's why colour of light path will depends on particle size. But in vacuum there is nothing to scatter light, and hence you will not see Tyndall effect.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about light scattering.
If you have any more doubts just ask here on the forum and our experts will try to help you out as soon as possible.
