Colloids Applications. 1  A colloid is typically a two phase system consisting of a continuous phase (the dispersion medium) and dispersed phase (the particles or emulsion droplets). The particle size of the dispersed phase typically ranges from 1 nanometer to 1 micrometer.

A colloidal system consists of an internal phase, which is the material of colloidal dimensions, and an external phase, which is the material in which the colloid is dispersed. These designations are analagous to the terms solute and solvent used for simple solutions (which form a single Gibbs phase).

Tyndall effect. Flour suspended in water appears to be blue because only scattered light reaches the viewer and blue light is scattered by the flour particles more than red. The Tyndall effect, also known as Tyndall scattering, is light scattering by particles in a colloid or else particles in a very fine suspension. It is named after the 19th-century physicist John Tyndall.

Colloidal Dispersions. Colloid dispersions exhibit several properties. Among these are the scattering of a light beam directed through a colloidal dispersion. This is known as the Tyndall effect and its magnitude is due to the size and number of particles present.

The colloidal system that is most similar to a simple solution is a dispersion of corpuscles, or particles, in a liquid. This is called a sol, and the liquid is the external phase. This is the classical colloid as described by Graham.

Some colloids are translucent because of the Tyndall effect, which is the scattering of light by particles in the colloid. Other colloids may be opaque or have a slight color. Colloidal suspensions are the subject of interface and colloid science.

http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_scattering_of_light_by_colloids_called
Colloids can produce color. The red of a gold sol or ruby glass has already been mentioned, where the color is due to the wavelength dependence of scattering and absorption. Color can also be produced by the interference of white light, especially if there are thin films or a periodic regularity in the density.

what does scattering light mean in colloids
Tyndall scattering, is light scattering by particles in a colloid or else particles in a very fine suspension.
