C. V. Raman was born in Tiruchirappalli in the Madras Presidency of British India (now Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu, India) to Tamil Iyer Brahmin parents, Chandrasekhar Ramanathan Iyer and Parvathi Ammal. He was the second of eight siblings. His father was a teacher at a local high school, and earned a modest income. He recalled: "I was born with a copper spoon in my mouth.
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.
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.
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
Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman The Nobel Prize in Physics 1930 . Born: 7 November 1888, Tiruchirappalli, India . Died: 21 November 1970, Bangalore, India
Raman’s Fascination with Light Scattering. Educated entirely in India, C.V. Raman made his first trip to London in 1921, where his reputation in the study of optics and especially acoustics was already known to the English physicists J. J. Thomson and Lord Rutherford, who gave him a warm reception.
Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was an Indian physicist who won the 1930 Nobel prize for physics for his work on light scattering, known as the Raman effect
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1930 was awarded to Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman "for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him"
Aug 28, 2023 · Nobel Laureate and Honorary Member Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born in 1888 in southern India.He received a B.S. in 1904 and an M.S. in 1907 from Presidency College, Madras.
May 16, 2024 · Other Scientific Works of Sir CV Raman. Apart from scattering of light, Sir CV Raman was associated with other scientific works. Spin of photons: With Suri Bhagavantam, Sir CV Raman determined the spin of photons in 1932, which further confirmed the quantum nature of light. Raman-Nath theory: With his student, Nagendra Nath, Sir CV Raman provided the theoretical description of the acousto-optic effect (light scattering by sound waves) in a number of articles which resulted in the Raman-Nath ...
