India has received many Nobel Prizes

India has received many Nobel Prizes till now, but the feat of winning this award for the first time was done by Rabindra Nath Tagore. In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. The works of Bengali language litterateur Rabindranath were read and appreciated by people all over the world. However, the work of getting India's first Nobel in Science was done by Dr. CV Raman. Dr. Raman was honored for his discovery of the Raman effect in the field of physics in 1930.

What was that question?

CV Raman discovered the Raman effect in the ocean area. He had discovered why the ocean looks blue. Dr. Raman made this discovery during the return journey from London to Bombay. Before his discovery, it was believed that the blue color of the sea was a reflection of the sky, this explanation was given by Lord Rayleigh.

How was the research done?

Dr. Raman started a research journey to find out why the sea is blue. He told the world that the blue color of the ocean comes due to the scattering of sunlight on water molecules. When sunlight encounters particles smaller than its wavelength, it scatters in different directions. This research is known as Raman effect in the world. For this discovery, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded Dr. Raman the Nobel Prize on 10 December 1930, praising his important contribution in the field of physics.
