Step-by-step solution

Emulsions are broadly classified into two types based on the dispersed phase and dispersion medium: 1. Oil in water (O/W) emulsion: In this type, oil acts as the dispersed phase and water acts as the dispersion medium. Examples include milk, vanishing cream, and paint. 2. Water in oil (W/O) emulsion: In this type, water acts as the dispersed phase and oil acts as the dispersion medium. Examples include butter, cold cream, and cod liver oil.
