A. Reading
On the busy Bowbazaar Street in Calcutta there was an
old building. It was the headquarters of the Indian Association
for Cultivation of Science. In December, on a fine evening in
1927, there was much excitement in one of its laboratories.
Chandrasekhar Venkata Raman was showing a visitor some of
his instruments when a young man, K.S.Krishnan, rushed in and
announced, "Professor Compton has won the Nobel Prize."
Raman was equally delighted. "Excellent news," he said,
smiling at the visitor and then he was lost in thought. "But ....
look here, Krishnan," he said turning to the young man, "if this
Compton Effect is true of X-rays, it must be true of light too."
A few years earlier, A.H.Compton had shown that the
nature of X-rays changes when passed through matter. The
change was dependent on the kind of matter. This effect was called the 'Compton Effect.'
Could light also change its nature when passed through a transparent medium? That
was the question that Raman asked himself. For five years he had been doing research in
optics, the science of light. No sophisticated equipment was available in his laboratory, but
Raman was confident that he could find the answer with some modifications in his equipment.why was CV Raman happy when campton had got the Nobel Prize
