Difference Between Tyndall Effect and Brownian Motion
The Tyndall effect explains the phenomenon of scattering of light by the colloidal particles in its path that results in the pattern of bright glowing cones in the fluid. The Brownian Motion is related to the phenomenon of random motion of colloidal particles in the fluid. These are the widespread phenomenon that can be observed easily, but only in colloids as these … [Read more...] about Difference Between Tyndall Effect and Brownian Motion

The word 'anatomy' means 'structure', while 'physiology' refers to 'function'. We can elaborate by saying that anatomy is the detailed study of different body parts, their organization, and their interrelationship, but how these body parts and organs play their specific role in a coordinated manner is termed as physiology.
