C. V. Raman (1888–1970) was an Indian physicist known for his groundbreaking work in the field of light scattering. He discovered the Raman Effect in 1928, which explains how light interacts with molecules, leading to a change in its wavelength. This discovery was crucial in the study of molecular and material properties.
For his work, C. V. Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930, making him the first Indian scientist to win a Nobel in a scientific field. His discovery laid the foundation for Raman spectroscopy, a technique widely used in chemistry, physics, and medical research today.
