Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman (/ ˈrɑːmən /; [1] 7 November 1888 – 21 November 1970) was an Indian physicist [2] known for his work in the field of light scattering. [3] .

Mar 17, 2025 · C.V. Raman (born November 7, 1888, Trichinopoly [now Tiruchirappalli], India —died November 21, 1970, Bangalore [now Bengaluru]) was an Indian physicist whose work was influential in the growth of science in India.

Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born at Tiruchirappalli in Southern India on November 7th, 1888. His father was a lecturer in mathematics and physics so that from the first he was immersed in an academic atmosphere.

Talented and ambitious from the first, for Indian physicist C. V. Raman, winning the Nobel prize for physics was not so much a distant aspiration as a career plan.

With these prophetic words, Professor C. V. Raman of Calcutta University began his lecture to the South Indian Science Association in Bangalore on March 16, 1928. Raman proceeded to describe a discovery that resulted from a deceptively simple experiment.

C. V. Raman discovered that when light interacts with a molecule the light can donate a small amount of energy to the molecule. As a result of this, the light changes its color and the molecule vibrates. The change of color can act as a ‘fingerprint’ for the molecule. Raman spectroscopy relies on these fingerprints.

One of the most important scientists of the 20th century, and his curiosity and thirst for knowledge brought him to the ground-breaking achievements that have had a significant impact on modern science. CV Raman has an unparalleled reputation and has left behind an enduring legacy.

Aug 28, 2023 · Nobel Laureate and Honorary Member Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born in 1888 in southern India. He received a B.S. in 1904 and an M.S. in 1907 from Presidency College, Madras. Because scientific research was almost completely neglected in India, Raman did not begin his career in physics.
