Yaar, the Tyndall effect helps spot colloids — you'll see a light beam scattering in them, unlike true solutions. To know if an emulsion is oil-in-water or water-in-oil, just see if it mixes easily with water or not. Honestly, I remember this because I saw the Tyndall effect in the mist over our orchard at dawn, light cutting through like a scene from some film. My chemistry book makes it feel dry, but that cold morning mist made it real.
