After commemorating ‘human computer’ Shakuntala Devi’s birthday, Google is now celebrating Indian physicist Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman (C.V Raman) with its latest doodle.
Raman, born in 1970, received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for his discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the deflected light changes in wavelength.
The phenomenon is known as ‘Raman scattering’ and is the result of the Raman effect.
The physicist died on 21 November 1970 due to heart failure. (ANI)
