1928 was the year Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman discovered the Raman Effect, a significant scientific breakthrough that explains the scattering of light by molecules. This discovery made an important contribution to the field of spectroscopy and helped scientists understand the interaction between light and matter. For this remarkable achievement, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930, becoming the first Indian physicist to receive this prestigious honour. Born on November 7, 1888, in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, Raman also made important contributions to acoustics, chemistry and materials science. His discovery is commemorated every year through National Science Day in India.
