One of India’s greatest scientists CV Raman was born on November 7, 1888, in Tamil Nadu’s Trichinopoly, and died on November 21, 1970, in Bangalore .

At the age of 42, Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 "for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him".
On his birth anniversary, here is a look at some of the achievements of the great scientist.
Raman initially worked as a student in the field of optics and acoustics.
He completed his Master’s degree in Physics from the Presidency College, University of Madras, in 1907, and worked as an accountant in the finance department of the Indian government. In 1917, he joined the University of Calcutta as a professor of Physics.
Raman was fond of Indian classical music and was keenly interested in the acoustics of stringed instruments. He even constructed a mechanical violin.
One of Raman’s discoveries is related to the frequency response of the violin and its quality. The frequency response curve is known as the ‘Raman curve’.
Raman continued his research at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) in Calcutta while he worked as a professor at the university. He later became an honorary scholar at the association.
