C.V. Raman
First Indian to receive Nobel Prize in Field of Science
Every day of calender year is a birth day of many celebrities, some of them lived as a legendary under the shine of history and there presence can't be ignorable by the coming generation, they're better known for utter excellence in their field, concentration over their work, passionate about their passion, sheer dedication towards target, a madness to achieve the ambition, and so these people are able to put their name in the pages of history.
The Last time when i wrote about Virat Kohli, the day i decided to write about the every celebrity on his/er birthday, but unfortunately under the pathetic Job environment, someday we're aware about the day but was not in a condition to think and write over them, same happens on 7th Nov. 2012, when i forgot to write on the birthday of first Indian recipient of Nobel Prize in the field of Scientific research. I feel very sorry and guilty about me, to not think and write about a person whose work was influential in the growth of science in India.
Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, the fellow member of Royal Society, better known as C.V. Raman for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the "RAMAN EFFECT" also called as "RAMAN SCATTERING". He was the first Asian and first non-White to receive any Nobel Prize in the sciences, Before him only Rabindranath Tagore (also Indian) had received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913.
Born - 7th Nov. 1888
Died - 21st Nov. 1970
Field - Physics
Alumina - University of Madras
Known For - Research on the scattering of light and discovery of RAMAN Effect.
Awards - Knight Bachelor (1929)
Nobel Prize in Physics (1930)
Bharat Ratna (1954)
Lenin Peace Prize (1957)
Mr. Raman was born in a Tamil family on 7th Nov. 1988, he was second among five siblings, His father was a lecturer in Mathematics and physics at Presidency College (Madras) which Raman entered in 1902 at the age of 11. Raman studied at Presidency College, Madras. Later, he served as Professor of Physics at Calcutta University . he always used to refer the period of 1917 as the golden era for his life, in 1928 Raman led the experiments with K.S. Krishan on the scattering of light, when he discovered the Raman Effect, It was instantly clear that this discovery was of huge value. It gave further proof of the quantum nature of light. he was very disappointed when was not announced his name as a winner for 1928 and 1929 Nobel prize winner in the field of Physics, He was so confident of winning the prize in 1930 that he booked tickets in July, even though the awards were to be announced in November, and finally he received same for the year 1930 for his discovery of Raman Effect. Mr. Raman also works on the acoustic of musical instruments, later he is appointed as assistant director of IIS Bangalore, Raman retired from the IIS Bangalore in 1944 and established the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore a year later. He served as its director and remained active there until his death in 1970, in Bangalore, at the age of 82 on 21st Nov. 1970
He is always remember for his work in the field of Physics, 28th Feb. of every year after 1986 is celebrated as "National Science Day" to honor this Indian Scientist, it was the day of 1928 when the genius scientist announced the invention of his discovery.
The relevance of this discovery in the area of quantum mechanics can be judged from the statement of R. W. Wood, "It appears to me that this very beautiful discovery which resulted from Raman's long and patient study of the phenomenon of light scattering is one of the best convincing proofs of the quantum theory"
Wish you a belated happy Birthday Sir.
