Explanation:
The view has been expressed that the much admired dark blue of the deep sea has nothing to do with the colour of water, but is simply the blue of the sky seen by reflection … Whether this is really true is shown to be questionable by a simple mode of observation used by the present writer, in which surface-reflection is eliminated, and the other factors remain the same.”
On November 17, 1921, Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman (1888-1970) sent a letter concerning ‘The Colour of the Sea’ to the journal Nature. He was on his way back from his first visit to England on the SS Narkunda, commissioned only the year before by the Peninsula and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Raman sent the letter as the ship docked in the Bombay port, finally disputing Lord Raleigh’s claim following his own voyage around the African continent, that “the much admired dark blue of the deep sea has nothing to do with the colour of water, but is simply the blue of the sky seen by reflection” (Colours of Sea and Sky, March 10, 2010).
Five years into his first academic appointment, Raman had travelled to England for a few months to attend the Second Congress of the Universities of the Empire (July 5-8). Barely two months after the publication of this letter, Raman was nominated to a fellowship of the Royal Society – the fourth Indian and the second physicist to be nominated (the first physicist was Jagadish Chandra Bose).
