Hello Friend,
Two Indians have got the Nobel Prize for Physics till now.
1) C.V. Raman
→ Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was from the Madras province (currently Tamil Nadu)
→ He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for his work on scattering of light, and discovering the Raman Effect.
• The Raman Effect is the inelastic scattering of photons by molecules which are excited to higher rotational or vibrational energy levels.
→ In honour of his landmark research paper published on February 28, 1928, the Government of India officially declared 28 February to be celebrated as National Science Day every year.
2) S. Chandrasekhar
→ Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was from Lahore, Punjab, British India.
→ He was an astrophysicist, who was awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize for Physics with Williiam A. Fowler for his theoretical studies of the physical processes of importance to the structure and evolution of stars.
→ He gave the famous Chandrasekhar Limit.
• The Chandrasekhar Limit is the maximum mass of a stable white dwarf star. If a star has a mass beyond the Chandrasekhar Limit, it will eventually collapse to form a Black Hole.
The value of this limit is ≈ 1.44 times the mass of our Sun.
→ NASA's famous Chandra X-Ray Observatory is named after him.
→ He also has an asteroid named after him: Asteroid 1958 Chandra
_________________________
→ One thing is to be noted that at the time of being awarded the Prize, S. Chandrasekhar was a U.S. citizen.
So, Sir C.V. Raman can be regarded as the purely Indian citizen who won the Nobel Prize for Physics
Hope it helps.
