Which of the following will show the Tyndall effect?

  1. ADilute solution of NaCl
  2. BMilk
  3. CStarch solution
  4. DMore than one of the above

BPSC BAO 2024

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (d) More than one of the above

Explanation

The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles, which makes a beam's path visible.

Milk and starch solution are colloids, so both show it. A dilute solution of NaCl is a true solution with particles too small to scatter light, so it does not. Two options are correct: "More than one of the above".
