26. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: 
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but remain suspended
throughout the bulk of the medium. Particles of a suspension are visible to the naked eye. The particles of a
suspension scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path visible. Due to the relatively smaller size
of particles, as compared to that of a suspension, the mixture appears to be homogeneous. The scattering of a
beam of light is called the Tyndall effect. The components of a colloidal solution are the dispersed phase and the
dispersion medium. The solute-like component or the dispersed particles in a colloid form the dispersed phase,
and the component in which the dispersed phase is suspended is known as the dispersing medium.
