Jun 14, 2024 · C.V. Raman, Indian physicist whose work was influential in the growth of science in India. He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery of how some light changes wavelength when it traverses a transparent material in what is now called Raman scattering.
C handrasekhara Venkata Raman was born at Tiruchirappalli in Southern India on November 7th, 1888. His father was a lecturer in mathematics and physics so that from the first he was immersed in an academic atmosphere. He entered Presidency College, Madras, in 1902, and in 1904 passed his B.A. examination, winning the first place and the gold medal in physics; in 1907 he gained his M.A. degree, obtaining the highest distinctions.
Lived 1888 - 1970. C. V. Raman discovered that when light interacts with a molecule the light can donate a small amount of energy to the molecule. As a result of this, the light changes its color and the molecule vibrates. The change of color can act as a 'fingerprint' for the molecule. Raman spectroscopy
