C. V. Raman. Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman FRS ( / ˈrɑːmən /; [1] 7 November 1888 – 21 November 1970) was an Indian physicist known for his work in the field of light scattering. [2]
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.
In 1928 Venkata Raman discovered that a small portion of the scattered light acquires other wavelengths than that of the original light. This is because some of the incoming photons’ energy can be transferred to a molecule, giving it a higher level of energy.
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.

Jul 26, 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. Because scientific research was almost completely neglected in India, Raman did not begin his career in physics.
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"
