The Tyndall effect

In association with The Solar Spark at the University of Edinburgh

No comments

Why is the sky blue and the sunset red? It’s all to do with light scattering and the Tyndall Effect.

This experiment demonstrates light scattering. By shining a light through a jar of water containing a little milk you can see the different colours in the light are scattered in different directions. For full experimental details please view the Tyndall effect instructions.
