Sir C. V. Raman

Sir C. V. Raman was an Indian physicist renowned for discovering the Raman Effect, which explains how light changes when it interacts with molecules. This discovery, made in 1928, provided deep insights into the structure of matter and earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930. Raman’s work significantly advanced understanding of molecular and atomic behavior, shaping modern spectroscopy. His contributions elevated India’s standing in global science and inspired future generations of researchers.
