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.
Biographical. Chandrasekhara 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.
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.
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.
