Substances that do not settle or scatter light are typically transparent or translucent materials. These materials allow light to pass through them with minimal interference. Examples of such materials include clear glass, air, and water. When light passes through these substances, it does not scatter or settle; instead, it continues in a relatively straight path. This is in contrast to opaque materials, which absorb or reflect light, causing it to scatter or settle.
Opaque surfaces like a mirror or a brick wall do not scatter or settle light because they reflect light rays. The light rays bounce off these surfaces instead of passing through them, resulting in a lack of scattering or settling.
A colloid is a type of mixture in which medium-sized particles do not settle out on standing and scatter light. However, a suspension is a type of mixture with medium-sized particles that do settle out on standing and can scatter light.
it's the answer
Any small slit will scatter light. Especially blue light.
Yes, colloids scatter light. Colloids are mechanical mixtures; all mechanical mixtures scatter light. Solutions are the only mixtures that do not scatter light. The scattering of light by mixtures is known as the Tyndall effect, btw.
A solution with uniformly sized particles smaller than the wavelength of light will not scatter light.
no
Yes, mixtures can be classified as solutions, suspensions, or colloids based on the size of the particles present. Solutions have particles that are very small and do not settle out, suspensions have larger particles that eventually settle, and colloids have intermediate-sized particles that do not settle but scatter light.
