(N/A) $(i)$ $A$ solution is said to be saturated when it cannot dissolve any more solute at a given temperature.
$(ii)$ An unsaturated solution can be converted into a saturated solution by heating it. Heating increases the solvent's ability to hold solute,but if we then allow the solvent to evaporate or cool it down,the concentration of the solute increases relative to the solvent,effectively reaching a saturation point.

$A$ group of students took an old shoe box and covered it with black paper from all sides. They fixed a source of light (a torch) at one end of the box by making a hole in it and made another hole on the other side to view the light. They placed a milk sample contained in a beaker/tumbler in the box as shown in the figure. They were amazed to see that the milk taken in the tumbler was illuminated. They tried the same activity by taking a salt solution but found that light simply passed through it.
$(a)$ Explain why the milk sample was illuminated. Name the phenomenon involved.
$(b)$ Same results were not observed with a salt solution. Explain.
$(c)$ Can you suggest two more solutions which would show the same effect as shown by the milk solution?
