C V Raman

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was an Indian physicist who was awarded the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of Raman scattering, the phenomenon where light changes wavelength when passing through a transparent material. This effect, known as Raman scattering, is the result of the Raman Effect. Raman was born in 1888 in Tamil Nadu, India and studied at St.Aloysius Anglo-Indian High School, following in his father's footsteps as a physics and mathematics lecturer.

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman born on 7 November 1888 and died on 21 November 1970 was an Indian physicist whose

work was influential in the growth of science in the world. He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is now called Raman scattering and is the result of the Raman Effect. Venkata Raman, a Tamil Brahmin, was born at Thiruvanaikaval, near Tiruchirappalli, Madras Presidency to R. Chandrasekhara Iyer (b. 1866) and Parvati Ammal (Saptarshi Parvati).He was the second of their eight children. At an early age, Raman moved to the city of Vizag, Andhra Pradesh. Studied in St.Aloysius Anglo-Indian High School. His father was a lecturer in Mathematics and physics. He got noble award not for Ramans scattering but for interpretation of the photoelectric effect.
