Do Heterogeneous Mixtures Exhibit the Tyndall Effect?

A mixture that contains large particles that do settle and do scatter light. Examples of suspensions that are heterogeneous, separate on standing and do exhibit the Tyndall Effect.

Which mixture shows Tyndall effect homogeneous or heterogeneous?

Hint: We know that Tyndall effect is usually shown by colloids and colloids are heterogeneous systems. In colloids insoluble particles are suspended in another substance. The size of colloid particles can range from 1 to 1000 nanometres.

Which mixtures do not show Tyndall effect and why?

the mixtures in which particle size is smaller do not show tyndall effect. True solution and colloidal solution do not show tyndall effect.
