You might want to ask who is C V Raman right? Let’s talk about him, He was an Indian physicist between November 7, 1888 to November 21, 1970. He was well known for his work in the field of light scattering using a spectrograph that he developed, he and his student K. S. Krishnan discovered that when light traverses a transparent material, the deflected light changes its wavelength and frequency. This phenomenon is an unknown type of scattering of light, which they called “modified scattering” was subsequently termed the Raman effect or Raman scattering. Raman received the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery and was the first Asian to receive a Nobel Prize in any branch of science.
