Sir CV Raman: The man and his effect: Biplab Pal Published on June 01, 2005 [Recently Avijit wrote an excellent article on Sir CV Raman and his effect in his latest book “ Alo Hate Chaliyach e Andharer Yatri ’. I was reading it and got inspired to write this piece. For long time, I was reading a lot of articles and collection of his papers and therefore, I thought I might bring some interesting light into his invention. My effort might be useful for the readers of our forum to appreciate Raman Effect and the way it is still changing the world. ] Professor Raman brought his ticket to Europe in 1929 to attend the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony in 1930, indeed a year earlier before he was declared for the prize. Such was the confidence of this great man, that after seeing the effect in Feb,1928 and declaring it in a conference on 16 th For long time, this was a puzzle to me. I knew Nobel committee was under obligation to respect Nobel’s original will - merit of application to mankind should be the first priority. However that didn’t make it clear to me why Raman Effect was a ‘killer discovery’ for human civilization so that it was merited above Schrödinger’s wave equation or Heisenberg’s uncertainty principles! It took me quite a while to break this puzzle. Chapter 1: The history of the discovery Science College 1928: th February in 1928!''

Zakir Hussain Venkata Raman C handrasekhara Venkata Raman was born at Trichinopoly 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. He entered Presidency College, Madras, in 1902, and in 1904 passed his B.A. examination, winning the first place and the gold medal in physics; in 1907 he gained his M.A. degree, obtaining the highest distinctions. His earliest researches in optics and acoustics - the two fields of investigation to which he has dedicated his entire career - were carried out while he was a student. Since at that time a scientific career did not appear to present the best possibilities, Raman joined the Indian Finance Department in 1907; though the duties of his office took most of his time, Raman found opportunities for carrying on experimental research in the laboratory of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science at Calcutta (of which he became Honorary Secretary in 1919).

These selections are from his forthcoming autobiography. MY first meeting with Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, the eminent physicist, is still green in my memory. One day, in 1948, I telephoned the Nobel laureate to ask if I could meet him at his convenience and photograph him for an illustrated feature. I was apprehensive about getting an appointment from so busy a person, but was pleasantly surprised when he asked me, "How much time would you need?" An hour, I said. Raman went on to say that thirty minutes would do. I could see him the next morning at nine sharp. "Come on time," he warned. Sir C.V. Raman during a lecture at the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore, circa 1959. I dutifully reported my success to Pothan Joseph, Editor of Deccan Herald, which had been started barely a month earlier. "Be punctual and conduct yourself with grace," Pothan counselled me. He told me that Raman was a man of quick temper and so I should not throw my weight about in his presence, just because I was a newspaperman. "He may get angry if you direct him to act before your camera. He is particular about the rules he sets for himself," the Editor warned. After listening to all these dos and don'ts, I felt somewhat nervous because I was going to photograph a celebrity for the first time.

New Events Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman 7th November 1888 - 21st November 1970 " …..The essence of Science is independent - C.V.Raman Specialisation : Physics Contributions to Science : Raman's works essentially cover : (i) Molecular diffraction of light; (ii) Mechanical theory of bowed strings and diffraction of X-ray; (iii) Theory of musical instruments; and (iv) Physics of crystals. His discovery, the Raman effect, made it possible to map out the levels of possible energy gains of the molecules and atoms of a substance and uncover the molecular and atomic structure. By substituting measurement of colour modifications of visible X-ray, the alternative to infrared spectroscopy, viz Raman spectroscopy, provided a superbly easy experimental technique, Raman also made notable contributions to the physics of musical instruments like violin, cello, pianoforte, veena, tanpura and mridangam. He was Awarded Nobel Prize Physics in 1930. Sir C.V. Raman deserves to be remembered not only for his towering scientific accomplishment (he was the first Indian to get the Nobel Prize in science) but also for his indomitable will. Raman was a staunch patriot and he had great faith in India's potential for progress. He excelled under the most adverse circumstances.

With roots based on the Raman Effect documented more than 70 years ago, its resurgence is due to the need to maintain or lower costs while increasing capacity and distance. In the late 1920s, Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman documented the appearance of additional spectral lines after a monochromatic light passed through transparent materials, notably liquids. A small portion of the scattered light appeared at different frequencies, or wavelengths, than the initial scattered beam. Although present in every sample studied, the degree of the Raman Effect varied. It was confirmed that fluctuations of the material's atoms or molecules from their normal state influenced this scattering.

Visit our new gallery of Perpetual Motion Machines through the centuries NOVEMBER 7 - BIRTHS Norton David Zinder (source) Born 7 Nov 1928 American biologist and molecular geneticist who studied a species of Salmonella (bacteria that cause illnesses such as typhoid fever or food poisoning in humans and other warm- blooded animals). He discovered genetic transduction, or transfer of genetic information by viruses. Genetic material is transferred from one bacterial cell to another by means of a phage, or a virus that invades the bacterial cell, assumes control over the cell's genetic material, reproduces, then eventually destroys the cell. His discovery of this genetic transfer has led to further studies into the mapping and behavior of genes found in bacteria. Daniel Nathans in collaboration with Zinder in 1962 demonstrated that RNA from a bacterial virus directed the synthesis by cell extracts of viral coat protein. Konrad Lorenz (source) Born 7 Nov 1903; died 27 Feb 1989. Austrian zoologist , founder of modern ethology, the study of animal behaviour by means of comparative zoological methods. He was known affectionately by his pupils as the "father of the grey geese" which he studied. His ideas revealed how behavioral patterns may be traced to an evolutionary past, and he was also known for his work on the roots of aggression. He shared the 1973 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine, for developing a unified, evolutionary theory of animal and human behaviour. He was also a vehement environmentalist, criticizing prodigality and believed that nature protection is necessary for the preservation of humanity. Even late in life, he participated in demonstrations even if in conflict with government and authorities.
