The man behind the Raman Effect
Born in Madras province Sir C.V. Raman was a child prodigy. By the age of thirteen he had completed his FA which is equivalent to the intermediate exams of today at Vishakapatnam.
Moving to Madras he joined the Presidency College where his father worked as a teacher of Physics and Mathematics.in two years he completed his graduation and won the gold medal for Physics from the same college.
He completed his post graduation also with distinction and joined the finance ministry of the colonial government where he continued for some time before resigning to take up the post as Palit professor of Physics at the University of Calcutta.
While teaching he continued his research at the India Association of Cultivation Science and became a honorary professor there. It was here that Raman produced the Nobel Prize winning effort – The Raman Effect.
He also became the Honorary Secretary of IACS. Raman along with Krishnan discovered the properties of scattering light which later came to be known as the Raman Effect.
When the Nobel Prize was announced Raman wanted his friend and colleague to be also part of it but unfortunately they had differences and Krishnan refused to acknowledge it.
The day when the path breaking phenomenon was discovered February 28th is celebrated all over India as national Science Day.
Dr, Ernest Rutherford also acknowledged Raman’s contribution to science and recommended him to the Royal Society which recognized him and the British government conferred him with knighthood.
Raman was the first Asian and non white to receive the Nobel Prize. It is said that Raman expected to win the prize from 1928 and was over excited that he left for Sweden months in advance to receive the prize.
Raman further worked on the quantum of light and along with Suri Bhagvantam discovered the quantum photon spin which corroborated the already existing theory of the Raman Effect.
Raman was not only interested in light but was interested in sound as well he researched on that too and presented the harmonic nature of instruments.
The postal department released a commemorative stamp on his first death anniversary as a mark of respect for this gem from India. He was also given the Bharat Ratna in 1954 which he richly deserved. He is indeed a gem in India’s crown #theopenbook #Education #Educationalvideos #Studyiq #learn #Cbse #icse #ssc #generalknowledge
