Answer
Scattering of light, also known as the Tyndall effect, is a notable property of colloids that was extensively studied by Richard Zsigmondy. This phenomenon occurs when light passes through a colloidal dispersion and the particles present in the dispersion scatter and reflect the light, making the dispersion appear cloudy or hazy.
