Sir C. V. Raman was an Indian physicist born in 1888 who did pioneering work in the field of light scattering and spectroscopy. He discovered the Raman effect in 1928, for which he received the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics. Raman made many contributions in fields like acoustics, optics, and crystal physics through his research and published works over many decades, helping establish Indian science and institutions before his death in 1970.

5. HIS EARLIEST RESEARCH AS A
STUDENT WAS BASED ON
ACOUSTICS AND OPTICS.
HE WAS THE FOUNDER OF THE
INDIAN JOURNALS OF PHYSICS
IN 1926.IN 1928 HE PROPOSED THE
RAMAN EFFECT.HE PUBLISHED
475 RESEARCH PAPERS AND
WROTE FIVE REMARKABLE
MONOGRAPHS.

7. IN 1928 WITH VARIOUS
EXPERIMENTS ON SCATTERING
OF LIGHT HE FOUND RAMAN
EFFECT.THIS HELPED HIM IN
INTIATING RAMAN
SPECTROSCOPY AND IN PROVING
QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT.
