Abstract
The Tyndall effect describes light scattering by suspended solid particulates with sizes smaller than or comparable to the wavelength of light. This work describes the design and construction of an instructional kit for observing the Tyndall effect. The kit consists of a 3D printed holder that can be combined with low-cost and readily available materials to enable student laboratory experiments.
期刊介绍:
The mission of the American Journal of Physics (AJP) is to publish articles on the educational and cultural aspects of physics that are useful, interesting, and accessible to a diverse audience of physics students, educators, and researchers. Our audience generally reads outside their specialties to broaden their understanding of physics and to expand and enhance their pedagogical toolkits at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
