Scattering of light & Tyndall effect

Let's explore the scattering of light with the help of an experiment. When we shine a laser through a glass of water with few drops of milk, we can see the path of light. This effect is often called the Tyndall effect. Created by Mahesh Shenoy

This is how every student should get the concept explained from school.Just the perfect and on point explanation

Very detailed and comprehensive explanation. Well done, sir!

It's a blessing that I found you sir. I like your explanations very much

[@darshinimd8973]

It's funny how when I was younger I used to think the dust is visible because of sunlight, but now I realise it's the other way round.
*We see the sunbeam because of the dust particles*

[@KhanAcademyIndiaEnglish]

I think it's still more accurate to say that the dust is visible because of the light. You can't 'see' light itself, you can only see 'things' that reflect/scatter light towards your eye.

Do intensity of light got decreases as light goes to farther a particle by conservation of energy

[@Hino_55]

Sir Mahesh I have a question:
If light is scattering, why is it only confined to a single beam? Is it because the repetitive reflection/scatter of light from one particle to another causes the intensity of light to diminish as it hits more and more particles? So the beam of light is where reflection of light is still intense/strong?

[@shreyasinha1173]

I'm guessing here but the source of light here (a torch) produces a single beam so only the colloidal particles along that beam get hit by light.

[@Hino_55]

@@shreyasinha1173 I can see why you think that, but the question still stands, if you look at the colloidal particles at the edge of the beam, they are still hit by light isn't it?
Still got me thinking, if they scatter light just so poorly that to our naked eyes, we can't see much of it hence we only perceive a strong confined beam.
Anyways, thanks for your insight Shreya 😇

[@riajulchowdhury4218]

When light hits colloid particles a portion of it is absorbed some reflected
So it is possible . I guess that the intensity of light goes down from particle to particle

[@Hino_55]

@@riajulchowdhury4218 I see it makes sense to think of it that way.

[@omsahu6286]

Fun fact :~ your teacher asked you to watch this

[@avaneeshmenon4098]

Gr8 Video sir. All of the doubts cleared. Thanks a lot!! I just had one doubt. Isn't the size of colloid particles varying between 1-100nm? Bcoz u said 1-1000nm. Just wanted to confirm 😊😊

[@nidhimeda3899]

Sir mentioned that the numbers are not exact values but just rough values that he assumed. (7:31)

[@rohithpeddi]

btw NCERT mentions 1-1000nm only..so remember this only

[@kiranbhat4902]

Makes sir does true solution not scatter light....???(as given in class 9 text book

[@user-xs6bl8cx9e]

No, it doesn't

[@ujjwaLoL]

It does but since their particle size is too small the scattering is insignificant or they don't scatter larger wavelengths visible to us which is why we can't see this effect in true solutions

[@alaskakharel7723]

No offence. Your accent sounds quite fake but this video was very helpful to me so, thankyou!!

[@wirebrushproductions1001]

This is only partly correct. Tyndall Effect scattering is wavelength-dependent. Short wavelenths (blue) are scattered more strongly that long (red). Simply showing scattering by colloids does not identify it as Tyndall scattering, and using a single-wavelength source like a laser igmores the important part of the effect.

[@KhanAcademyIndiaEnglish]

What you are referring to is called Rayleigh scattering.

[@wirebrushproductions1001]

@@KhanAcademyIndiaEnglish NO. IT. ISN'T. Rayleigh scattering occurs for particle sizes much less than the wavelength of light. Call it less than ~20%. Tyndall effect occurs for particles in the range of 20% to 100%. Tyndall specifically noted the changes in apparent color for the media he observed. Scattering for particles much larger than a wavelength is called Mie scattering, and is not wavelength-dependent.

[@wirebrushproductions1001]

@@KhanAcademyIndiaEnglish If you go, for instance, to the Wikipedia page, you'll see Rayleigh scattering defined as "the predominantly elastic scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by particles much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation."
