Tyndall effect is more effectively shown by: (A) true solution (B) lyophilic colloid (C) lyophobic c — Surface Chemistry Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Tyndall effect occurs due to scattering of light by the colloidal particles. In the case of lyophilic colloids there is not much difference in the refractive index of the dispersed phase and dispersion medium, so scattering is very less and Tyndall effect is almost unobservable in such cases.
