The Tyndall effect results from particles in a colloid, such as a very tiny suspension (a sol), dispersing light. In Tyndall scattering, also known as Tyndall effect, the intensity of the scattered light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength, scattering blue light far more intensely than red light. A common example is the blue tint that occasionally appears in the smoke produced by motorbikes, especially two-stroke models, where particles from the burned engine oil are responsible for this coloration.

Due to the cloud droplets' greater size than the light's wavelength and their almost equal distribution of color scattering, this displays Mie scattering rather than Tyndall scattering. When there are no clouds in the sky during the day, Rayleigh scattering rather than Tyndall scattering determines the color of the sky because air molecules, which are considerably smaller than visible light wavelengths, serve as the scattering particles. Similarly, it is inaccurate to refer to the light scattering caused by big, macroscopic dust particles in the air as having the Tyndall effect; in reality, this is not the case because of their vast size.Also Check - Nucleophile formula

Melanin absorbs light in eyes that have both particles and melanin. The layer is transparent in the absence of melanin, meaning that light passing through is randomly and diffusely dispersed by the particles, and a substantial fraction of the light entering this translucent layer reemerges through a radial scattered path.Also Check - Modern Periodic Table Formula
In industrial and laboratory settings, the Tyndall effect is employed to gauge the aerosols' particle sizes.
