The Tyndall effect is the phenomenon where the path of a beam of light becomes visible as it passes through a colloidal dispersion or a fine suspension. This effect occurs because the larger particles in the colloid or suspension scatter the light in all directions when it strikes them.

Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by particles in a colloid or a very fine suspension.

Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface. Diffraction is the bending of light waves as they pass around the edge of an obstacle or through a narrow slit. Polarization is the restriction of the vibration of light waves to a single plane. Scattering is the process by which light is deflected in various directions as it interacts with a medium or particles within it, which is the principle behind the Tyndall effect.
