Tyndall Effect:
Imagine trying to see through a dense fog while driving. Just like how the fog scatters the light from your car's headlights, making it difficult to see clearly, the Tyndall effect involves the scattering of a light beam when it passes through a colloid. In both cases, tiny particles—whether they are droplets of water in fog or particles in a colloid—scatter the light, preventing it from traveling in a straight line and making the path of the light visible.
