In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation. The particles may be visible to the naked eye, usually must be larg

The Tyndall effect is light scattering by particles in a colloid such as a very fine suspension. Also known as Tyndall scattering, it is similar to Rayleigh scattering, in that the intensity of the sc
