Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman
- Born :
Chandrasekhara
Venkata Raman
7 November 1888
Tiruchirapalli,
Madras Presidency,
British India
(Tamil Nadu, India)
- Died :
21 November 1970
(Aged 82)
Bangalore, Mysore,
India
- Education :
- Raman Was Born On
November 7, 1888, In Tiruchirapalli, India.
He began his education at a local school and displayed an early
interest in science.
- Raman Graduated With A Bachelor's Degree In Physics From
Presidency College, Chennai (Now Chennai's University Of
Madras) In 1904.
- In 1907, He Earned His Master's Degree In Physics From
Presidency College. In 1921, Raman Earned His Ph.D. From The
University Of Cambridge.
- Work :
- Raman Effect
- Raman Spectroscopy
- Optics And Acoustics
- Stimulated Raman Scattering
- Other Contributions
[1] Raman Effect :
- Raman's Most Famous Work Is His Discovery Of The Raman
Effect, Which He Observed In 1928.
- This Phenomenon Involves The Scattering Of Light By
Molecules, Where A Small Fraction Of The Scattered Light
Undergoes A Change In Frequency Due To Interactions With The
Molecular Vibrations.
- This Discovery Had A Profound Impact On The Study Of
Molecular Structure And Interactions And Laid The Foundation
For The Field Of
Raman Spectroscopy.
[2] Raman Spectroscopy :
- Raman's Discovery Of The Raman Effect Led To The
Development Of Raman Spectroscopy.
- A Technique That Uses The Inelastic Scattering Of Light To
Provide Information About Molecular Vibrations And Molecular
Structures.
- Raman Spectroscopy Has Applications In Diverse Fields,
Including Chemistry, Biology, Material Science, And Even Art
Conservation.
[3] Optics And Acoustics :
- Before His Discovery Of The Raman Effect, Raman Conducted
Research In Various Areas Of Physics, Including Optics And
Acoustics.
- His Work On The Diffraction Of Light And The Behavior Of Light
In Relation To Musical Instruments Earned Him Recognition In
These
Fields.
[4] Stimulated Raman
Scatte :
- In Later Years, Raman Extended His Research To The
Phenomenon Of "Stimulated Raman Scattering," A Process
Related To The
Amplification Of Light.
- This Laid The Foundation For The Development Of Various Laser
Technologies.
- In Traditional Raman Scattering, A Photon Interacts With A
Molecule, And The Scattered Light Undergoes A Frequency Shift
Due To Molecular Vibrations.
- Stimulated Raman Scattering Has A Range Of Applications In
Various Fields Like Raman Spectroscopy,Materials
Science,Biomedical
Imaging,Chemical Analysis Etc.
[5] Other Contributions :
- Raman Was Also Interested In Color Perception And The
Physics Of The Human Eye.
- He Made Contributions To The Understanding Of The Physics Of
Musical Instruments, The Nature Of Sound, And The Behavior Of
Light.
